Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed him: Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man.

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12387]]></link><description><![CDATA[What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soule needs few things, the body many. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49917]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soule needs few things, the body many.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it; when you should let go, let go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it; when you should let go, let go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have written to them and asked them for statements.
