Blood and tears, deepest despair and highest hope, a passionate longing to lay hold of ... Him who overcomes the world because He is its Creator and Redeemer, its beginning and ending and lord -- a passionate longing to have the word spoken, the word which promises grace in judgment, life in death, and the beyond in the here and now, God's word -- this it is that animates our church-goers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only if we can restrain ourselves is good conversation possible.

She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66862]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles Come Love, come Lord, and that long day For which I languish, come away. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles Come Love, come Lord, and that long day For which I languish, come away.

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bird of the broad and sweeping wing, Thy home is high in heaven,  Where wide the storms their banners ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bird of the broad and sweeping wing, Thy home is high in heaven,  Where wide the storms their banners fling,   And the tempest clouds are driven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars.
