To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25731]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You got nothing to lose, so you might as well just go out there and just keep working hard, ... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42593]]></link><description><![CDATA[You got nothing to lose, so you might as well just go out there and just keep working hard, ...

And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the most important thing in the world?

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that doth what he should not, shall feele what he would not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49334]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that doth what he should not, shall feele what he would not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joe understands team.
