Among other things, he said that when he was at Rhodes he had leaped to such a distance that no man of his day could leap anywhere near him as to that, there were in Rhodes many persons who saw him do it and whom he could call as witnesses.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; Though he spare it, and forsake ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:  Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, its just possible you haven't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1097]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, its just possible you haven't grasped the situation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exceeding fair she was not; and yet fair In that she never studied to be fairer  Than Nature made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exceeding fair she was not; and yet fair In that she never studied to be fairer  Than Nature made her; her beauty cost her nothing,   Her virtues were so rare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   This matter of "salvation" is, when seen intuitively, a very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   This matter of "salvation" is, when seen intuitively, a very simple thing. But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4288]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65431]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.

Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All concord's born of contraries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60428]]></link><description><![CDATA[All concord's born of contraries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I live in the crowds of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56770]]></link><description><![CDATA[I live in the crowds of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much like a subtle spider, which doth sit In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:  If aught do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much like a subtle spider, which doth sit In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:  If aught do touch the utmost thread of it,   She feels it instantly on every side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As no scripture is of private interpretation, so is there no feeling in a human heart which exists in that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8216]]></link><description><![CDATA[As no scripture is of private interpretation, so is there no feeling in a human heart which exists in that heart alone -- which is not, in some form or degree, in every human heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm worried that the universe will soon need replacing.
