When you make a choice, you mobilizevast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! the good times when we were so unhappy. [Fr., Oh le bon temps ou etions si malheureux.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! the good times when we were so unhappy. [Fr., Oh le bon temps ou etions si malheureux.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace; East, west, north, and south let the long quarrel cease;  Sing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace; East, west, north, and south let the long quarrel cease;  Sing the song of great joy that the angels began,   Sing the glory to God and of good-will to man!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Made no more bones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Made no more bones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't understand why they were waiting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40834]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't understand why they were waiting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This move is to put the defense team on a proper legal foundation and when the family appoints lawyers it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28225]]></link><description><![CDATA[This move is to put the defense team on a proper legal foundation and when the family appoints lawyers it then knows who is whom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44403]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a child – in school, music, athletics.
