How did He manage to live without anxiety for the next day -- He who from the first instant of His public life, when He stepped forward as a teacher, knew how His life would end, that the next day was His crucifixion; knew this while the people exultantly hailed Him as King (ah, bitter knowledge to have at precisely that moment!); knew, when they were crying, Hosanna!, at His entry into Jerusalem, that they would cry, "Crucify Him!", and that it was to this end that He made His entry. He who bore every day the prodigious weight of this superhuman knowledge -- how did He manage to live without anxiety for the next day?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bid the hungry Greek go to heaven, he will go. [Lat., Graeculus esuriens in coelum, jusseris, ibit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bid the hungry Greek go to heaven, he will go. [Lat., Graeculus esuriens in coelum, jusseris, ibit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a destiny that makes us brothers, No one goes his way alone; All that we send into the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27145]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a destiny that makes us brothers, No one goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others, Comes back into our own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never say "Fail" again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never say "Fail" again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ain't got nothing.

Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the fight between you and the world, back the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15657]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the fight between you and the world, back the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is not a relationship of nations.
