I've learned thatyou can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned thatregardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they'regone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing asmaking a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on bothhands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that wheneverI decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I'velearned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned thatevery day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, orjust a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what youdid, but people will never forget how you made them feel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have rededicated myself to my procession as a way of honoring him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38550]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have rededicated myself to my procession as a way of honoring him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[British people don't feel they can tear themselves away from their desk, and have developed a very functional relationship with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42184]]></link><description><![CDATA[British people don't feel they can tear themselves away from their desk, and have developed a very functional relationship with food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43211]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7461]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only we set it apart to his service -- just as a gardener brings his master a basket of apricots, and presents them; his lord thanks him, and perhaps gives him something for his pains, and yet the apricots were as much his lord's before as now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Americans say they brought democracy -- yes, we have democracy, but on paper, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36677]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Americans say they brought democracy -- yes, we have democracy, but on paper,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373 "In pastures green"?

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee.

It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[the only reason the House hasn't done even more damage is that the Senate often sands down the most noxious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39018]]></link><description><![CDATA[the only reason the House hasn't done even more damage is that the Senate often sands down the most noxious ideas, making the bills merely bad, not disastrous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are bombs the only way of setting fire to the spirit of a people?

I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.

The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure. -The Taming of the Shrew.
