St. John of the Cross  December 15, 2000   Two thousand years of failure have not taught some reformers that you can't stop sin by declaring it illegal. Two thousand years have not taught them that you can't save a man's soul by force -- you can only lose your own in the attempt. Drunkenness and gambling and secularism and lechery -- various hopeful churchmen have earnestly tried to outlaw them all; and what is the result? A drunken nation, a gambling nation, a secularist nation, an adulterous nation. And, often, a ruined Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597 Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 1. the ministry of holding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597 Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 1. the ministry of holding one's tongue   Often we combat our evil thoughts most effectively if we absolutely refuse to allow them to be expressed in words... Thus it must be a decisive rule of every Christian fellowship that each individual is prohibited from saying much that occurs to him. This prohibition does not include the personal word of advice and guidance. But to speak about a brother is forbidden, even under the cloak of help and goodwill; for it is precisely in this guise that the spirit of hatred among brothers creeps in when it is seeking to create mischief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They talk like angels but they live like men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50414]]></link><description><![CDATA[They talk like angels but they live like men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy: The patriotic art of lying for one's country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy: The patriotic art of lying for one's country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your head is wax, don't walk in the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48971]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your head is wax, don't walk in the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that the star clusters lighting up the tips of the pillars are essentially the offspring of the region's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40973]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that the star clusters lighting up the tips of the pillars are essentially the offspring of the region's single, massive star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15953]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't bunch enough hits together.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dancing in the chequer'd shade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dancing in the chequer'd shade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not at all surprised that the rebels are not accepting the peace deal.
