The stroke that came transmitted through a whole galaxy of elastic balls, was it less a stroke than if the last ball only had been struck, and sent flying? Oh, could I transport thee direct from the Beginnings to the Endings, how were thy eyesight unsealed, and thy heart set flaming in the Light-sea of celestial wonder! Then sawest thou that this fair Universe, were it in the meanest province thereof, is in very deed the star-domed City of God; that through every star, through every grass-blade, and most through every Living Soul, the glory of a present God still beams. But Nature, which is the Time-vesture of God and reveals Him to the wise, hides Him from the foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all just monkeys in business suits running around pretending to be executives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19976]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all just monkeys in business suits running around pretending to be executives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always too early to quit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13643]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always too early to quit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearts of oak are our ships, Gallant tars are our men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearts of oak are our ships, Gallant tars are our men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By time and toil we sever What strength and rage could never.  [Fr., Patience et longueur de temps.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45722]]></link><description><![CDATA[By time and toil we sever What strength and rage could never.  [Fr., Patience et longueur de temps.   Font plus que force ni que rage.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757]]></link><description><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday   Jesus invites His saints   To meet around His board; Here pardon'd rebels sit and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday   Jesus invites His saints   To meet around His board; Here pardon'd rebels sit and hold   Communion with their Lord.

Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us. We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Innocents  Though Christ a thousand times In Bethlehem be born, If he's not born in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Innocents  Though Christ a thousand times In Bethlehem be born, If he's not born in thee Thy soul is still forlorn. The cross on Golgotha Will never save thy soul; The cross in thy own heart Alone can make thee whole.   ... anonymous, 3rd century  December 29, 2002 Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170   The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12342]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36441]]></link><description><![CDATA[An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't really have anything to do with the tabloid person, then it doesn't bother you.

TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fanatic is a man who consciously over compensates a secret doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15277]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fanatic is a man who consciously over compensates a secret doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The yeare doth nothing else but open and shut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49943]]></link><description><![CDATA[The yeare doth nothing else but open and shut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49943</guid></item></channel></rss>
