Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood. [Lat., Improbi hominis est mendacio fallere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11523]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood. [Lat., Improbi hominis est mendacio fallere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives;  Whom none can love, whom none ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20893]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives;  Whom none can love, whom none can thank,--   Creation's blot, creation's blank.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abortion is a skillfully marketed product sold to women at a crisis time in their life.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way.
