But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And you, enchantment, Worthy enough a herdsman--yea, him too,  That makes himself, but for our honor therein,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10797]]></link><description><![CDATA[And you, enchantment, Worthy enough a herdsman--yea, him too,  That makes himself, but for our honor therein,   Unworthy thee-if ever henceforth thou    These rural latches to his entrance open,     Or hoop his body more with thy embraces,      I will devise a death as cruel for thee       As thou art tender to't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us put Germany, so to speak, in the saddle! you will see that she can ride. [Ger., Setzen wir ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us put Germany, so to speak, in the saddle! you will see that she can ride. [Ger., Setzen wir Deutschland, so zu sagen, in den Sattel!

Inner feelings of rage soon spill over into all aspects of society. Social stress multiplies daily with every new report of political upheaval, child abuse, drug abuse, workplace violence, children bringing guns to school, homelessness, ethnic wars or some other crisis. The root cause of a lot of these social stresses is the inner violence created by dysfunctional communication between the heart and the mind. As social stress increases, we're faced with a choice: Retreat into fear and isolation, become angry and bitter, try to ignore it all, or take responsibility for our own stress reactions.

Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24498]]></link><description><![CDATA[God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way.
