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/7879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20103]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smell of money is good, come whence it may.

It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rovers have proven their value with major discoveries about ancient watery environments on Mars that might have harbored life, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35709]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rovers have proven their value with major discoveries about ancient watery environments on Mars that might have harbored life,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do not raise your eyes you will think you are the highest point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58345]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you do not raise your eyes you will think you are the highest point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced that men did not know God. They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I see the move of RFID into universities, it concerns me, ...

His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot get ahead while you are getting even. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54105]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot get ahead while you are getting even.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Injustice in the end produces independence. [Fr., L'injustice a la fin produit l'independance.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Injustice in the end produces independence. [Fr., L'injustice a la fin produit l'independance.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You get out in front -- you stay out in front. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57505]]></link><description><![CDATA[You get out in front -- you stay out in front.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(They are unknown) because they had no bard to sing their praises. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50367]]></link><description><![CDATA[(They are unknown) because they had no bard to sing their praises.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will their masters not accomplish when low fellows are so presumptuous? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51839]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will their masters not accomplish when low fellows are so presumptuous?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15970]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15970</guid></item></channel></rss>
