In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not a static thing.

Your faith is something everyone knows, for everyone knows that Christ was [crucified], and that everywhere men pray to Him. The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen. 0 wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? Where they worked, there they made hearts better; where they could not work, there men remained bad; and therefore was the faith true and from God. The signs which the Lord had promised followed their teaching: in His name they drove out the devil; they spoke in new tongues; if they drank any deadly drink, they received therefrom no harm. Even if these wonders had not occurred, there would have been the wonder of wonders, that poor fishermen without any miracle could accomplish so great a work as the faith. It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feeling and our manners, and rules us with the imperious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feeling and our manners, and rules us with the imperious hand of a despot]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When something [an affliction] happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1674]]></link><description><![CDATA[When something [an affliction] happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The East bow'd low before the blast, In patient, deep disdain.  She let the legions thunder past,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10205]]></link><description><![CDATA[The East bow'd low before the blast, In patient, deep disdain.  She let the legions thunder past,   And plunged in thought again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We remain Safe in the hallowed quiets of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45680]]></link><description><![CDATA[We remain Safe in the hallowed quiets of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45680</guid></item></channel></rss>
