It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Musick helps not the tooth-ach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Musick helps not the tooth-ach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the only tool you have is a hammer you tend to see every problemas a nail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21839]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the only tool you have is a hammer you tend to see every problemas a nail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pardon all but thy selfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pardon all but thy selfe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real estate is still a contact sport. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real estate is still a contact sport.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm signing up kids right now.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Magic] is not mere superstition.

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not funky but a more stylish look for women, almost reminiscent of the Audrey Hepburn era.
