Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66223]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall generally find that the triangular person has got into the square hole, the oblong into the triangular, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall generally find that the triangular person has got into the square hole, the oblong into the triangular, and a square person has squeezed himself into the round hole.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such understanding is required for researchers to develop new and much-needed approaches to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases, such as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such understanding is required for researchers to develop new and much-needed approaches to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases, such as diabetes, bipolar disorder, cancer and many others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To desire the attainment of this equality or superiority by the particular means of others being brought down to our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47445]]></link><description><![CDATA[To desire the attainment of this equality or superiority by the particular means of others being brought down to our own level, or below it, is, I think, the distinct notion of envy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Going through the bad times the last three seasons not making the playoffs and right now still cheering for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Going through the bad times the last three seasons not making the playoffs and right now still cheering for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4737]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897  He said: that in order to form a habit of conversing with God continually, and referring all we do to Him; we must first apply to Him with some diligence: but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   We are made for action, and for right action -- for thought, and for true thought. Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That should be regarded as a loss, which is won at the expense of our reputation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51631]]></link><description><![CDATA[That should be regarded as a loss, which is won at the expense of our reputation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2953]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The science is in.
