This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hang no ivie out to sell my wine; The nectar of good wits will sell itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61665]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hang no ivie out to sell my wine; The nectar of good wits will sell itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their young heads against their mothers,   And that cannot stop their tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689 Continuing a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689 Continuing a short series on Romans 8: Romans 8:14,16.

Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportune times for speaking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportune times for speaking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wondering's healthy.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If America can go to the moon, then in the decades to come we should not ever have to have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16609]]></link><description><![CDATA[If America can go to the moon, then in the decades to come we should not ever have to have young Americans sent to any part of the world to defend and die for America's gluttony on fossil fuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more haste, ever the worst speed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18773]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more haste, ever the worst speed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little labour, much health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49048]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little labour, much health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49048</guid></item></channel></rss>
