Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm personally not against billboards, but I am worried about the looks within the city limits.

I see billboards as more of a process of, as you're coming into town, wanting people to stop and service our businesses, buy their gas and stuff like that. Once you come into town and get into high density growth and mini-stores it becomes more of a distraction and a nuisance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17819]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is not a matter of God, church, holy cause, etc. These are but accessories.

The source of religious preoccupation is in the self, or rather the rejection of the self. Dedication is the obverse side of self-rejection. Man alone is a religious animal because, as Montaigne points out, "it is a malady confined to man, and not seen in any other creature, to hate and despise ourselves.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56768]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I observe that Christ and His forerunner John in their parabolic discourses were wont to allude to things present.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the president does it, that means it is not illegal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47309]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24780]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics.

There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! could I throw aside these earthly bands That tie me down where wretched mortals sigh--  To join blest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! could I throw aside these earthly bands That tie me down where wretched mortals sigh--  To join blest spirits in celestial lands!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Eternity) a moment standing still for ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14204]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Eternity) a moment standing still for ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Michelle is a very talented Irish dancer.
