We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21037]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sought Him where my logic led.

"This friend is always sure and right;  His lantern is sufficient light -- I need no star," I said. I sought Him in the city square.  Logic and I went up and down  The marketplace of many a town, And He was never there. I tracked Him to the mind's far rim.  The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is like flying through a storm.
