Here is a bon mot and a useful desire, but equally absurd. For to make the handful bigger than the hand, the armful bigger then the arm, and to hope to stride further than the stretch of our legs, is impossible and monstrous. . . . He may lift himself if God lend him His hand of special grace; he may lift himself . . . by means wholly celestial. It is for our Christian religion, and not for his Stoic virtue, to pretend to this divine and miraculous metamorphosis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone; but, years after, we know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1810]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone; but, years after, we know it was much later.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some learned writers . . . have compared a Scorpion to an Epigram . . . because as the sting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some learned writers . . . have compared a Scorpion to an Epigram . . . because as the sting of the Scorpion lyeth in the tayl, so the force and virtue of an epigram is in the conclusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did you ever hear of Captain Wattle? He was all for love and a little for the bottle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did you ever hear of Captain Wattle? He was all for love and a little for the bottle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5535]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our deepest insight into the nature of God is expressed with a family analogy.

He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father. The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons.
