Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love fails, only when we fail to love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love fails, only when we fail to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is an order of nobility; from its revelations we come more worthily into nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is an order of nobility; from its revelations we come more worthily into nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675   What happens to someone who follows heretical teachings?

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[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  God in His providence has not allowed the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  God in His providence has not allowed the survival of actual physical objects. But we have infinitely more than this, for instead of dead relics, however "authentic" and well preserved, we have a living life-line, stretching unbroken to Christ Himself. We have all the comfort and security that comes from historic tradition, but instead of being given the sad nostalgia of looking at an object and saying, "Look, how wonderful! This is what He touched then," we are given an evergreen memorial [in communion] which says, "This is what He touches now.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody is grappling with this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody is grappling with this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men say that there are three sorts of persons who are wholly deprived of judgment,--they who are ambitious of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men say that there are three sorts of persons who are wholly deprived of judgment,--they who are ambitious of preferments in the courts of princes; they who make use of poison to show their skill in curing it; and they who intrust women with their secrets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious and free, First flower of the earth, and first gem of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious and free, First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that beleeveth all, misseth; hee that beleeveth nothing, hitts not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49323]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that beleeveth all, misseth; hee that beleeveth nothing, hitts not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only problem facing you in life is the belief inseparation from your Source.

You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With his hand upon the throttle-valve of crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10671]]></link><description><![CDATA[With his hand upon the throttle-valve of crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt like we tried to give it away.
