It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loving an old bachelor is always a no-win situation, and you come to terms with that early on, or you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loving an old bachelor is always a no-win situation, and you come to terms with that early on, or you go away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And hear the mighty stream of tendency Uttering, for elevation of our thought,  A clear sonorous voice, inaudible  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14367]]></link><description><![CDATA[And hear the mighty stream of tendency Uttering, for elevation of our thought,  A clear sonorous voice, inaudible   To the vast multitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But as for all the rest, There's hardly one (I may say none) who stands the Artist's test.  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/417]]></link><description><![CDATA[But as for all the rest, There's hardly one (I may say none) who stands the Artist's test.  The Artist is a rare, rare breed.

The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mass production is for the masses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mass production is for the masses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  To be right with God has often meant to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take a little rum The less you take the better  Pour it in the lakes   Of Wener ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take a little rum The less you take the better  Pour it in the lakes   Of Wener or of Wetter.    Dip a spoonful out     And mind you don't get groggy,      Pour it in the lake       Of Winnipissiogie.        Stir the mixture well         Lest it prove inferior,          Then put half a drop           Into Lake Superior.            Every other day             Take a drop in water,              You'll be better soon               Or at least you oughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61112]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will give us a chance to get better markets up here because there's more demand for the corn and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40448]]></link><description><![CDATA[It will give us a chance to get better markets up here because there's more demand for the corn and more uses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've essentially doubled our population, doubled our load, over the last 23 years.
