But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with ignorance is that it picks up confidence as it goes along. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9685]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with ignorance is that it picks up confidence as it goes along.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From hyperborean skies Embodied dark, what clouds of vandals rise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56518]]></link><description><![CDATA[From hyperborean skies Embodied dark, what clouds of vandals rise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much learning shows how little mortals know: Much wealth, how little worldlings can enjoy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much learning shows how little mortals know: Much wealth, how little worldlings can enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a very exciting time in the world of information.

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43139]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only those who have learned a lot are in a position to admit how little they know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only those who have learned a lot are in a position to admit how little they know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it -- or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1901</guid></item></channel></rss>
