(It may well mean more problems.) But it does mean a life in which two people are able to accept each other and love each other in the midst of problems and fears. It means a marriage in which selfish people can accept selfish people without constantly trying to change them -- and even accept themselves, because they realize personally that they have been accepted by Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  Whoso goes seeking God and seeking aught ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  Whoso goes seeking God and seeking aught with God does not find God; but he who seeks God by himself in truth does not find God alone: all God affords he finds, as well as God.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear creature!--you'd swear When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round,  That her steps are of light, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear creature!--you'd swear When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round,  That her steps are of light, that her home is the air,   And she only par complaisance touches the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have the same mentality.

With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As in a theatre, the eyes of men, After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, Are idly bent on him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55829]]></link><description><![CDATA[As in a theatre, the eyes of men, After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, Are idly bent on him that enters next, Thinking his prattle to be tedious. -King Richard II.
