It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old muleskinners told how the mules were waiting at the shaft when they arrived each morning.

It rests upon a conviction that God is the Sole Source of Holiness, and that our part is to lean upon Him and be absolutely guided and governed by Him; and it necessitates an abiding hold on Him, a perpetual habit of listening for His Voice within the heart, as of readiness to obey the dictates of that Voice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4465]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274  The very Nazis look at you with wonderment and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274  The very Nazis look at you with wonderment and an open contempt! For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  It seems to me to be the best proof of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  It seems to me to be the best proof of an evangelical disposition, that persons are not angry when reproached, and have a Christian charity for those that ill deserve it.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separatedfrom right living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21968]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separatedfrom right living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Magic has always been an element of Witchcraft, but in the Craft its techniques were practiced within a context of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Magic has always been an element of Witchcraft, but in the Craft its techniques were practiced within a context of community and connection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.

Whilst men are under the power of actual impressions from such fears, they will convert to God, yea, they will turn in a moment, and perfect their holiness in an instant; but so soon as that impression wears off (as it will do on every occasion, and upon none at all) such persons are as dead and cold towards God as the lead or iron, which but now ran in a fiery stream, is now when the heat is departed from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brooke might tell a different story, but I've always loved the water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brooke might tell a different story, but I've always loved the water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's on every page of the script, so the actress had to be strong and incredible.

His existence is both objectively and subjectively evident. It is necessary logically because our assumption of order, design, and rationality rests upon it. It is necessary morally because there is no explanation for the shape of morality apart from it. It is necessary emotionally because the human experience requires an immediate and ultimate environment. It is necessary personally because the exhaustion of all material possibilities still cannot give satisfaction to the heart. The deepest proof for God's existence, apart from history, is just life itself. God has created man in his image, and men cannot elude the implications of this fact. Everywhere their identity pursues them. Ultimately, there is no escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One joy scatters a hundred griefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23443]]></link><description><![CDATA[One joy scatters a hundred griefs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893  If man is man and God is God, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893  If man is man and God is God, to live without prayer is not merely an awful thing: it is an infinitely foolish thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowher so besy a man as he ther was, And yet he semed bisier than he was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowher so besy a man as he ther was, And yet he semed bisier than he was.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can believe in God without believing in immortality, but it is hard to see how anyone can believe in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17701]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can believe in God without believing in immortality, but it is hard to see how anyone can believe in immortality and not believe in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't understand you.
