unreachable starThis is my quest, to follow that starNo matter how hopeless,No matter how farTo fight for the rightWhithout question or pauseTo be willing to march into hellFor a heavenly causeAnd I know if I'll only be trueTo this glorious questThat my heart will be peaceful and calmWhen I'm laid to my restAnd the world would be better for thisThat one man scorned and covered with scarsStill strove with his last ounce of courageTo reach the unreachable starmusic by Leigh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace,

higher moral truth; but to turn to Christ is far more important than to turn to higher moral truth: it is to turn the face towards Him in whom is all moral truth; it is to turn to HIm in whom is not only the virtue which corresponds to the known vice from which the penitent wishes to flee, but all virtue; it is to turn the face to all holiness, all purity, all grace.

We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The angel of the Family is Woman.

Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But leave me to my beer!
