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[In times of stress and strain, people will vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60975]]></link><description><![CDATA[In times of stress and strain, people will vote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why and Wherefore set out one day, To hunt for a wild Negation.  They agreed to meet at a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why and Wherefore set out one day, To hunt for a wild Negation.  They agreed to meet at a cool retreat   On the Point of Interrogation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64428]]></link><description><![CDATA[An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here with my beer I sit, while golden moments flit: alas!

But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wood halfe burnt is easily kindled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wood halfe burnt is easily kindled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45808]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country I never would lay down my arms,--never! never! never!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many can argue; not many converse ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many can argue; not many converse]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When clouds appear like rocks and towers, The earth's refreshed by frequent showers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8916]]></link><description><![CDATA[When clouds appear like rocks and towers, The earth's refreshed by frequent showers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41481]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character is power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character is power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65905]]></link><description><![CDATA[An intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Technology is like a fish.
