Thought kindles and inspires, but it takes a diviner endowment, and more powerful energy than earnestness or genius or thought to break the chains of sin, to win estranged and deprived hearts to God, to repair the breaches and restore the Church to her old ways of purity and power. Nothing but the anointing of the Holy Spirit can do this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity.

Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2959]]></link><description><![CDATA[A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's our most pop album since our first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41402]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's our most pop album since our first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the nicest way to search somebody if they have to be searched. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30647]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the nicest way to search somebody if they have to be searched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't. -Coriolanus.
