It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will find that silence or very gentle words are the most exquisite revenge for insult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22858]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will find that silence or very gentle words are the most exquisite revenge for insult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But if you ride your bike a mile away, she is not gonna find you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40373]]></link><description><![CDATA[But if you ride your bike a mile away, she is not gonna find you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still. . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still. . . must close our minds for the moment with a snap, and act dogmatically on our conclusions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42750]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The consciousness of good intention is the greatest solace of misfortunes. [Lat., Conscientia rectae voluntatis maxima consolatio est rerum incommodarum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42798]]></link><description><![CDATA[The consciousness of good intention is the greatest solace of misfortunes. [Lat., Conscientia rectae voluntatis maxima consolatio est rerum incommodarum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have always been at daggers-drawing, And one another clapper-clawing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have always been at daggers-drawing, And one another clapper-clawing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53647]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time that someone broke them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dominic, Priest, Founder of the Order of Preachers, 1221   Some there are who presume so far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dominic, Priest, Founder of the Order of Preachers, 1221   Some there are who presume so far on their wits that they think themselves capable of measuring the whole nature of things by their intellect, in that they esteem all things true which they see, and false which they see not.

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535   Almighty God, have mercy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535   Almighty God, have mercy on N and N and on all that bear me ill will, and would me harm, and on their faults and mine together; and by such easy, tender, merciful means as Thine infinite wisdom best can divine, vouchsafe to amend and redress; and make us saved souls together in heaven where we may ever live and love together with Thee and Thy blessed saints, O glorious Trinity, for the bitter passion of our sweet saviour Christ, amen.   ... ascribed to Sir Thomas More  July 7, 2002   O God, the strength of all those who put their trust in thee; mercifully accept our prayers; and because, through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.   ... Collect for the first Sunday after Trinity, The Book of Common Prayer [1928]  July 8, 2002   Happily for us, the fundamental Christian message concerns not what we ought to do, but what God has done and what God is willing to do. In fellowship with Him and with others who are likewise trying to be like Him, we can be lifted up above our native possibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6809</guid></item></channel></rss>
