It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pool is huge here.

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8243]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life, that we give to the question of what to do with two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-confidence is the result of a successfully survived risk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-confidence is the result of a successfully survived risk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that a smart man knows what to say, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46385]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that a smart man knows what to say, a wise man knows whether or not to say it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fewer our wants, the nearer we resemble the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61107]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fewer our wants, the nearer we resemble the gods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say marriages are made in Heaven.
