Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom of expression must be considered sacred and thought can only be corrected by counter thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom of expression must be considered sacred and thought can only be corrected by counter thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52651]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, and good breeding]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist   Paul Tillich can show us that the unity which we seek as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist   Paul Tillich can show us that the unity which we seek as Christians must involve our denominations in changes even greater than those which many of us now expect. His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for "the Church" but for "the whole inhabited world". The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can and doesn't have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36802]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can and doesn't have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason.

He knew that every sinner is a Jerusalem sinner who has crucified the Lord of Glory; and to whom, notwithstanding all this, the grace of God is exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Therefore the Apostle Paul himself is a pattern... of the grace of God abounding to the Christ-crucifiers. A new covenant is made with those who transgressed the first covenant. It is the brethren of Joseph, who have sold him into Egypt, who are made the partakers of Joseph's power and of Joseph's riches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you say it is, it isn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you say it is, it isn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman and a glasse are ever in danger. [A woman and a glass are ever in danger.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49089]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman and a glasse are ever in danger. [A woman and a glass are ever in danger.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49089</guid></item></channel></rss>
