Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you listen to the politicians, you might think we are all terrorists ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58966]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you listen to the politicians, you might think we are all terrorists]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who hastens a glutton choakes him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who hastens a glutton choakes him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suck, baby! suck! mother's love grows by giving: Drain the sweet founts that only thrive by wasting!  Black manhood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suck, baby! suck! mother's love grows by giving: Drain the sweet founts that only thrive by wasting!  Black manhood comes when riotous guilty living   Hands thee the cup that shall be death in tasting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His tenacity is unmatched in my opinion.

Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they're going? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56170]]></link><description><![CDATA[When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they're going?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4701]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold, we live through all things,--famine, thirst, Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,  All woe and sorrow; life inflicts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold, we live through all things,--famine, thirst, Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,  All woe and sorrow; life inflicts its worst   On soul and body,--but we cannot die,    Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and worn,--     Lo, all things can be borne!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
