Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  We must never speak to simple, excitable people about "the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  We must never speak to simple, excitable people about "the Day" without emphasizing again and again the utter impossibility of prediction. We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's sports and we can't do anything about it.

As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths;The valiant never taste of death but once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths;The valiant never taste of death but once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66424]]></link><description><![CDATA[And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will be surety, shall pay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49408]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will be surety, shall pay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20984]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it--but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, faith as an original experience of the life of the Spirit. It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65317]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Baron's retainers were blithe and gay, And keeping their Christmas holiday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8624]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Baron's retainers were blithe and gay, And keeping their Christmas holiday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16834]]></link><description><![CDATA[A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where more is meant than meets the ear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where more is meant than meets the ear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These impossible women!
