No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  The redeemed in Heaven crying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  The redeemed in Heaven crying continually, "Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood," give, say the scriptures, an adoration which, in depth and fullness, no angel of them all can ever equal. Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to take one bus trip for eight hours.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22909]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All reformers are bachelors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53203]]></link><description><![CDATA[All reformers are bachelors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is preferable to error. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is preferable to error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Correction does much, but encouragement does more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Correction does much, but encouragement does more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/988]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O faithful conscience, delicately pure, how doth a little failing wound thee sore! [It., O dignitosa coscienza e netta,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9797]]></link><description><![CDATA[O faithful conscience, delicately pure, how doth a little failing wound thee sore! [It., O dignitosa coscienza e netta,  Come t' e picciol fallo amaro morso.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  We may look into a church, almost any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  We may look into a church, almost any church, and discover someone who, though he is offered a gospel of love, must subtly convert it into a gospel of hate before he can receive it. The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Based off of what I've heard overall, I think people were very pleased. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Based off of what I've heard overall, I think people were very pleased.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're only given a little spark of madness.

We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
