Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thirst that from the soul doth rise, Doth ask a drink divine;  But might I of Jove's nectar ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59397]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thirst that from the soul doth rise, Doth ask a drink divine;  But might I of Jove's nectar sup,   I would not change for thine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must sacrifice, train, do everything possible to put yourself in a position to win.

The cross on Golgotha Will never save thy soul; The cross in thy own heart Alone can make thee whole.   ... anonymous, 3rd century  December 29, 2002 Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170   The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Matthias the Apostle  Life is not long enough for a religion of inferences; we shall never have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Matthias the Apostle  Life is not long enough for a religion of inferences; we shall never have done beginning, if we determine to begin with proof.

It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.
