Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace.

a flesh which He shares with us by wearing it, not by sinning in it. He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Companies appeared to be cautious because of the possibility of spikes in crude oil prices which could hit corporate profitability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Companies appeared to be cautious because of the possibility of spikes in crude oil prices which could hit corporate profitability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And nobler is a limited command, Given by the love of all your native land,  Than a successive title, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25958]]></link><description><![CDATA[And nobler is a limited command, Given by the love of all your native land,  Than a successive title, long and dark,   Drawn from the mouldy rolls of Noah's Ark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The western tide crept up along the sand, And o'er and o'er the sand,  And round and round the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The western tide crept up along the sand, And o'er and o'er the sand,  And round and round the sand,   As far as eye could see    The rolling mist came down and hid the land:     And never home came she.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59265</guid></item></channel></rss>
