It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An average first half and we pull it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36366]]></link><description><![CDATA[An average first half and we pull it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hug the shore; let others try the deep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hug the shore; let others try the deep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human judges can show mercy.

A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borders are semiporous.

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty when most unclothed is clothed best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2729]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty when most unclothed is clothed best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48166]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Port Headland, happiness comes smithereen-shaped. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39006]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Port Headland, happiness comes smithereen-shaped.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who injures one man threatens many. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51609]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who injures one man threatens many.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness in thinking creates profoundness, kindness in feeling creates love. . -Lao Tzu. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness in thinking creates profoundness, kindness in feeling creates love. . -Lao Tzu.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christian Unity is not a secular unity, and must be prompted by no secular motive.

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57485]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that many have been taught to think that moderation, in a case like this, is a sort of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42873]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that many have been taught to think that moderation, in a case like this, is a sort of treason]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember saying that.
