But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world.

Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ... Irenaeus July 17, 2000  The discussion of prayer is so great that it requires the Father to reveal it, His firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.  ... Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ... St. Ambrose July 19, 2000Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.  ... St. John Chrysostom July 20, 2000 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  Of course, it all depends upon what we are praying for. 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/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52651]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, and good breeding]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We felt like we had a good corral of running backs, so instead of running the (I-formation) and featuring one, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32765]]></link><description><![CDATA[We felt like we had a good corral of running backs, so instead of running the (I-formation) and featuring one, we wanted to feature more backs.
