The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Candidate Thomas is a sad, sad man, with only one desire: to reunite with his deceased ex-girlfriend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Candidate Thomas is a sad, sad man, with only one desire: to reunite with his deceased ex-girlfriend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27944]]></link><description><![CDATA[When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20090]]></link><description><![CDATA[A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If gaming does an aged sire entice, Then my young master swiftly learns the vice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48947]]></link><description><![CDATA[If gaming does an aged sire entice, Then my young master swiftly learns the vice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What our contempts do often hurl from us, We wish it ours again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51225]]></link><description><![CDATA[What our contempts do often hurl from us, We wish it ours again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty catch themselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty catch themselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great is journalism.

You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[cannot or should not be reproduced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41397]]></link><description><![CDATA[cannot or should not be reproduced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O lovers!
