Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ... Irenaeus July 17, 2000  The discussion of prayer is so great that it requires the Father to reveal it, His firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.  ... Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ... St. Ambrose July 19, 2000Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.  ... St. John Chrysostom July 20, 2000 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  Of course, it all depends upon what we are praying for. If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook. [Lat., Divine Plato escam malorum appeliat voluptatem, quod ea videlicet homines capiantur, ut pisces hamo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16991]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8443]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never go backward.

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew this game would have a playoff feel with Central Catholic being undefeated and all the section championships they've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32154]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew this game would have a playoff feel with Central Catholic being undefeated and all the section championships they've won.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We couldn't pull a few out but they were all close games and during each one of those losses we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39632]]></link><description><![CDATA[We couldn't pull a few out but they were all close games and during each one of those losses we felt that we could have won the game.
