But when we compare ourselves with Jesus Christ, and through Him, with God, we are humbled to the dust, and then faith is born, for there is nothing left to do but to trust to the mercy of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One big vice in a man is apt to keep out a great many smaller ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60520]]></link><description><![CDATA[One big vice in a man is apt to keep out a great many smaller ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like ships that have gone down at sea, When heaven was all tranquillity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like ships that have gone down at sea, When heaven was all tranquillity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. -George Bernard Shaw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. -George Bernard Shaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42738]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow-citizens, and the joys of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth.

And unexpressed feelings comeforth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are thereincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment anddisillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rageor anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are otherembodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing,not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects thequality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  When no tensions are confronted and overcome, because insiders or outsiders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  When no tensions are confronted and overcome, because insiders or outsiders of a certain class or group meet happily among themselves, then the one new thing, peace, and the one new man created by Christ, are missing; then no faith, no church, no Christ, is found or confessed. For if the attribute "Christian" can be given sense from Eph. 2, then it means reconciled and reconciling, triumphant over walls and removing the debris, showing solidarity with the "enemy" and promoting not one's own peace of mind but "our peace"... When this peace is deprived of its social, national, or economic dimensions, when it is distorted or emasculated so much that only "peace of mind" enjoyed by saintly individuals is left -- then Jesus Christ is being flatly denied. To propose, in the name of Christianity, neutrality or unconcern on questions of international, racial, or economic peace -- this amounts to using Christ's name in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're the ones that will come in and play with the toys.

So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics.
