Whether for the Church or for ourselves, let us not take ourselves into our own hands, or choose our own lot. "My times are in Thy hand." He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us. Rather let us, though with trembling, hold up our hearts to Him, to make them His Own, in what way He willeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why would he come back?.

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man is out of the reach of fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61753]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly looking to expand our menswear offerings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32670]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're certainly looking to expand our menswear offerings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/871]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders -- what would you tell him to do?

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[Java is much more programmer-friendly than C or C++, or was for a few years there until they made just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Java is much more programmer-friendly than C or C++, or was for a few years there until they made just as complicated.
