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[Our prayers should be for a sound mind in a healthy body. [Lat., Orandum est ut sit mens sana in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our prayers should be for a sound mind in a healthy body. [Lat., Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A very gentle beast, and of a good conscience. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who praises everybody, praises nobody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48025]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who praises everybody, praises nobody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigourously, more vigourously, and more severely, than by one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigourously, more vigourously, and more severely, than by one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress is so strange.
