Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Network security and the ability to operate in the face of disaster are some of the top concerns for integrated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Network security and the ability to operate in the face of disaster are some of the top concerns for integrated communications providers.

Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm an avid shoe fan.

Yet with his best thought, and largest opportunity, and the application of his highest ability, he cannot penetrate far. But the Christ of God unfolds both its meaning, and its order. He shows that the goal is freedom, and the guidance love. In this way Christ appears direct to the spirit of man, not by its special acquirements, or special ability, but through its common needs and common tasks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179  Seducers we, they say; but they lead men astray.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the house is finisht, leave it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49093]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the house is finisht, leave it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My early and invincible love of reading, . . .
