We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330  The cross is laid on every Christian.

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is more important than knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is more important than knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The passage of time is simply an illusion created by our brains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59300]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passage of time is simply an illusion created by our brains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever man uses without the fear of God, whatever he applies to the mere gratifying of his flesh, cannot fail ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever man uses without the fear of God, whatever he applies to the mere gratifying of his flesh, cannot fail to operate as a poison to the soul, however pleasant and salutary it may appear to be to the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25921]]></link><description><![CDATA[For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between the great things we cannot do and the small things we will not do, the danger is that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between the great things we cannot do and the small things we will not do, the danger is that we shall do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Irishman has a potatoe in his head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every Irishman has a potatoe in his head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom meets us at the cradle and leaves us only at the tomb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom meets us at the cradle and leaves us only at the tomb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freeman casting, with unpurchased hand, The vote that shakes the turrets of the land. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61005]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freeman casting, with unpurchased hand, The vote that shakes the turrets of the land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain,--  Let ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain,--  Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter,   Sermons and soda-water the day after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business is a means- the only means- to increase the quantity of goods available for preserving life and rendering it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business is a means- the only means- to increase the quantity of goods available for preserving life and rendering it more agreeable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[did not have his own sources of funding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33141]]></link><description><![CDATA[did not have his own sources of funding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. [Ger., Die Menschen gehen wie Schiesskugeln weiter, wenn sie abgeglattet sind.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. [Ger., Die Menschen gehen wie Schiesskugeln weiter, wenn sie abgeglattet sind.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you change your offense, there will be a transition period and you'll have some rough spots.
