Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The condition of an enlightened mind is a surrendered heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11651]]></link><description><![CDATA[The condition of an enlightened mind is a surrendered heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that there is no God, but that matter is God and God is matter; and that it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17667]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that there is no God, but that matter is God and God is matter; and that it is no matter whether there is any God or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45638]]></link><description><![CDATA[From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light  And she sits on a sapphire throne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light  And she sits on a sapphire throne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52130]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The very activities for which we were created are, while we live ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The very activities for which we were created are, while we live on earth, variously impeded: by evil in ourselves or in others. Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All flesh is not venison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49101]]></link><description><![CDATA[All flesh is not venison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is going on in the political process is a transition from war to peace.

There is a Pagan, savage heart in me somewhere. For unfortunately the folly and idiot-cunning of Paganism seem to have far more power of surviving than its innocent or even beautiful elements. It is easy, once you have power, to silence the pipes, still the dances, disfigure the statues, and forget the stories; but not easy to kill the savage, the greedy, frightened creature now cringing, now blustering in one's soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like a train wreck.
