Let thy holy angels pitch their tents round about and dwell here, that no illusion of the night may abuse me, the spirits of darkness may not come near to hurt me, no evil or sad accident oppress me; and let the eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace. Let no deed of darkness overtake me; and let thy blessing, most blessed God, be upon me for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without a goal, you cannot survive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without a goal, you cannot survive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.

Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool bolts pleasure, then complains of moral indigestion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46714]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool bolts pleasure, then complains of moral indigestion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46714</guid></item></channel></rss>
