We can only rearrange the elements God has provided. No one can create a new primary color, a third sex, a fourth dimension, or a completely original animal.

By love alone He is great and glorious. By love alone He liveth and feeleth in other persons. By love alone He enjoyeth all the creatures, by love alone He is pleasing to Himself, by love alone He is rich and blessed. O, why dost not thou by love alone seek to achieve all these, by love alone attain another self, by love alone live in others, by love attain thy glory? The same is shriveled up and buried in a grave that does not love. But that which does love wisely and truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of Heaven and the friend of God, the shining light and temple of eternity, the brother of Jesus Christ, and one spirit with the Holy Ghost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12342]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's somehow symbolic of Hollywood that Tara was just a facade, with no rooms inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19590]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's somehow symbolic of Hollywood that Tara was just a facade, with no rooms inside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gracefully, gracefully glides our bark On the bosom of Father Thames,  And before her bows the wavelets dark  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gracefully, gracefully glides our bark On the bosom of Father Thames,  And before her bows the wavelets dark   Break into a thousand gems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The careful insect 'midst his works I view, Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,  With golden treasures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3903]]></link><description><![CDATA[The careful insect 'midst his works I view, Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,  With golden treasures load his little thighs,   And steer his distant journey through the skies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's prophets of the Beautiful, These Poets were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46845]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's prophets of the Beautiful, These Poets were.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sir, he made a chimney in my father's house, and the bricks are alive at this day to testify it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sir, he made a chimney in my father's house, and the bricks are alive at this day to testify it. -King Henry VI.

This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an odd way, all the appliances that the advertisers put out there, and said, `Buy this brand-new stove!', `Buy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37199]]></link><description><![CDATA[In an odd way, all the appliances that the advertisers put out there, and said, `Buy this brand-new stove!', `Buy the fridge!' `Make Jell-O!', all that horrible nutrition that came up because of instant pudding, Jell-O, fish sticks, TV dinners, all of that that I had before dismissed as the death of our culture -- I realized that housewives wanted these things, because they wanted time back, ...
