It tends to imply that the objection is to the attendant dangers and not to the thing itself. But if sexual intercourse before and outside marriage is against the teaching of Jesus, then the thing is not only dangerous, it is wrong in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in a valley, surrounded by mountains, and the playing field gets dark very quickly in the fall.

More learned, the formal logic of the schools would have robbed him of that flower of simplicity which is the great charm of his life; he would have seen the whole extent of the sore of the Church, and would no doubt have despaired of healing it. If he had known ecclesiastical discipline, he would have felt obliged to observe it; but, thanks to his ignorance, he could often violate it without knowing it, and be a heretic quite unawares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a remedy for everything except death ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53780]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a remedy for everything except death]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who, as they sung, would take the prison'd soul And lap it in Elysium. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who, as they sung, would take the prison'd soul And lap it in Elysium.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is a person that will pay two dollars for a one dollar item he wants.

It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God's love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God.

Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FORTY DAYS is a social, spiritual and learning experiment in which people experience the intensity of monastic life.
