Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543   True it is that every man willingly followeth his own bent, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543   True it is that every man willingly followeth his own bent, and is the more inclined to those who agree with him. But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Father and His SonsA father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves.

When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bitter drug oft brings relief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50700]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bitter drug oft brings relief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now you who rhyme, and I who rhyme, Have not we sworn it, many a time,  That we no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now you who rhyme, and I who rhyme, Have not we sworn it, many a time,  That we no more our verse would scrawl,   For Shakespeare he had said it all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no greater education than one that is self-driven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66234]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing pleases which is not freshened by variety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing pleases which is not freshened by variety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66837]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbor as yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our military deserves leadership that matches their service and patriotism.

When he returned home after a good day's sport, he always gave the Housedog a large share of his spoil. The Hound, feeling much aggrieved at this, reproached his companion, saying, It is very hard to have all this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate on the fruits of my exertions. The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been a high level of interest by the casinos that's only going to intensify after today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38243]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been a high level of interest by the casinos that's only going to intensify after today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But, you know, Cronaca isn't more innovative than what comes after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42621]]></link><description><![CDATA[But, you know, Cronaca isn't more innovative than what comes after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the ability to hide your panic from others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the ability to hide your panic from others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would of course speak with any interested shareholder of relevant thoughts and perspectives.

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A simple rule, to be followed whether one is in the light or not, gives backbone to one's spiritual life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6425]]></link><description><![CDATA[A simple rule, to be followed whether one is in the light or not, gives backbone to one's spiritual life, as nothing else can.  ... Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item></channel></rss>
