Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart asks pleasure first, And then, excuse from pain;  And then, those little anodynes   That deaden ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19046]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart asks pleasure first, And then, excuse from pain;  And then, those little anodynes   That deaden suffering;    And then, to go to sleep;     And then, if it should be      The will of its Inquisitor,       The liberty to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beneath me flows the Rhine, and, like the stream of Time, it flows amid the ruins of the Past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beneath me flows the Rhine, and, like the stream of Time, it flows amid the ruins of the Past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[City outreach teams have been working aggressively to convince these individuals to accept services.
