Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ... Irenaeus July 17, 2000  The discussion of prayer is so great that it requires the Father to reveal it, His firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.  ... Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ... St. Ambrose July 19, 2000Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.  ... St. John Chrysostom July 20, 2000 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  Of course, it all depends upon what we are praying for. If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization ceases when we no longer respect and no longer put into their correct places the fundamental values, such as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization ceases when we no longer respect and no longer put into their correct places the fundamental values, such as work, family and country such as the individual, honor and religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us in education dream of an aristocracy of achievement arising out of a democracy of opportunity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us in education dream of an aristocracy of achievement arising out of a democracy of opportunity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We refused to assume - one of the central obligations of parenthood: to make ourselves the final authority on good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44752]]></link><description><![CDATA[We refused to assume - one of the central obligations of parenthood: to make ourselves the final authority on good and bad, right and wrong, and to take the consequences of what might turn out to be a lifetime battle]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62547]]></link><description><![CDATA[I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the building needs to be used for economic development and I don't think Smoky Mountain Development has been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40435]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the building needs to be used for economic development and I don't think Smoky Mountain Development has been able to accomplish that.
