The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11713]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For though to smatter ends of Greek Or Latin be the rhetoric  Of pedants counted, and vain-glorious,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25121]]></link><description><![CDATA[For though to smatter ends of Greek Or Latin be the rhetoric  Of pedants counted, and vain-glorious,   To smatter French is meritorious.   - Samuel Butler (1),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here lies our sovereign lord, the king, Whose word no man relives on,  Who never said a foolish thing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here lies our sovereign lord, the king, Whose word no man relives on,  Who never said a foolish thing,   And never did a wise one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To observe people in conflict is a necessary part of a child's education.

The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us.
