Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These elections will fail by themselves.

First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind begins to boggle at unnatural substances as things paradoxical and incomprehensible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45491]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind begins to boggle at unnatural substances as things paradoxical and incomprehensible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief, He robs himself that spends a bootless grief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59139]]></link><description><![CDATA[The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief, He robs himself that spends a bootless grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888   In his experience of God, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888   In his experience of God, a Christian has a strong sense of his individuality, never of his unity with God. Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're a winner you're always happy, but if you're happy as a loser you'll always be a loser. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22221]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're a winner you're always happy, but if you're happy as a loser you'll always be a loser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4598]]></link><description><![CDATA[A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4598</guid></item></channel></rss>
