If obedience to the will of GOD be necessary to happiness, and knowledge of his will be necessary to obedience, I know not how he that withholds this knowledge, or delays it, can be said to love his neighbour as himself. He, that voluntarily continues ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces; as to him that should extinguish the tapers of a light-house, might justly be imputed the calamities of shipwrecks. (Continued tomorrow)   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 13, 2002   Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity; and as no man is good but as he wishes the good of others, so no man can be good in the highest degree, who wishes not to others the largest measures of the greatest good. To omit for a year, or for a day, the most efficacious method of advancing Christianity [i.e., the Bible], in compliance with any purposes that terminate this side of the grave, is a crime [the like] of which I know not that the world has yet had an example.   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 14, 2002 Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The "good" man, the man whose god is righteousness, has as his life's ambition the keeping of rules and commandments and the keeping of himself uncontaminated by the world. This sounds admirable; but, as the truth of Christ showed, the whole of such living, the whole drive and ambition, the whole edifice, is self-centered. That entire process of effort must be abandoned if a man is to give himself in love to God and his fellows. He must lose his life if he is ever going to find it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a woman I have no country.

Our model is the Jesus, not only of Calvary, but of the workshop, the roads, the crowds, the clamorous demands and surly oppositions, the lack of all peace and privacy, the interruptions. For this, so strangely unlike anything we can attribute to the divine life in itself, is apparently not only like, but is, the divine life operating under human conditions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played our best game of the year tonight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31309]]></link><description><![CDATA[We played our best game of the year tonight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I sell liquor, its called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, its called hospitality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13012]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I sell liquor, its called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, its called hospitality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5879]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst kind of shame is being ashamed of frugality or poverty. [Lat., Pessimus quidem pudor vel est parsimoniae vel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56131]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst kind of shame is being ashamed of frugality or poverty. [Lat., Pessimus quidem pudor vel est parsimoniae vel frugalitatis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's a staggering amount, when you consider that the federal government purchases about $5 billion of electricity per year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34188]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's a staggering amount, when you consider that the federal government purchases about $5 billion of electricity per year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen, sweet Dove, unto my song, And spread thy golden wings in me;  Hatching my tender heart so long, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen, sweet Dove, unto my song, And spread thy golden wings in me;  Hatching my tender heart so long,   Till it get wing, and flie away with Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eyes are the mirror of the soul ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14809]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eyes are the mirror of the soul]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And said to myself, as I lit my cigar, "Supposing a man had the wealth of the Czar  Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2721]]></link><description><![CDATA[And said to myself, as I lit my cigar, "Supposing a man had the wealth of the Czar  Of the Russias to boot, for the rest of his days,   On the whole do you think he would have much to spare    If he married a woman with nothing to wear?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regardless of how this 'report' ranks New York, our city is the most generous jurisdiction in the country when it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regardless of how this 'report' ranks New York, our city is the most generous jurisdiction in the country when it comes to addressing the needs of at-risk and homeless citizens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were really good in transition up and down the field.
