Every man lives by his own faith, and God does not distinguish between classes. Since, in cases of necessity, you have the right to act as a priest, then you must also accept priestly discipline. It is God's will that all of us should be in the right spiritual state, at any time or place, to administer His sacraments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun is set; and in his latest beams Yon little cloud of ashen gray and gold,  Slowly upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59924]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun is set; and in his latest beams Yon little cloud of ashen gray and gold,  Slowly upon the amber air unrolled,   The falling mantle of the Prophet seems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We needed to make a couple more shots early on.

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on alldarknesses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21414]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on alldarknesses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He sees that this great roundabout, The world, with all its motley rout,  Church, army, physic, law,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62202]]></link><description><![CDATA[He sees that this great roundabout, The world, with all its motley rout,  Church, army, physic, law,   Its customs and its businesses,    Is no concern at all of his,     And says--what says he?--Caw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56813]]></link><description><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59870]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18895]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2960]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Question everything.

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it.
