It has to be an American crisis, of course. If two countries fight that do not supply the Americans with some precious commodity, then the education of the public does not take place.

As Christ gives Himself to feed us, so we have to incarnate something of His all-loving, all-sacrificing soul. If we do not, then we have not really received Him. That is the plain truth. It has been said that there are many ways and degrees of receiving the Blessed Sacrament. It really depends on how wide we open our hearts. A spiritually selfish communion is not a communion at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not necessary to hope in order to understand, nor to succeed in order to persevere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22261]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not necessary to hope in order to understand, nor to succeed in order to persevere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No animal is so inexhaustable as an excited infant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3614]]></link><description><![CDATA[No animal is so inexhaustable as an excited infant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been doing silly voices since I was a child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36257]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've been doing silly voices since I was a child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never felt that anything really mattered by the satisfaction of knowing that you stood for the things in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never felt that anything really mattered by the satisfaction of knowing that you stood for the things in which you believed and had done the very best you could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know'st thou not any whom corrupting gold Will tempt unto a close exploit of death? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know'st thou not any whom corrupting gold Will tempt unto a close exploit of death?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I applaud the senator for her efforts, but they are ineffectual and too little.

For you must be well aware that if we make an outward show of conversion to God without giving Him our hearts, it is only a shadow and pretence of virtue, and no true conversion. Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never tried to be uber-sexy, ...
