Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone's a pacifist between wars.

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes, they just get afraid to leave, and they will do things that don't always make sense, like run, even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes, they just get afraid to leave, and they will do things that don't always make sense, like run, even though they were going to be out within a short period of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kept urgency.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11464]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only kind of freedom that the mob can imagine is freedom to annoy and oppress its betters, and that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47505]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only kind of freedom that the mob can imagine is freedom to annoy and oppress its betters, and that is precisely the kind that we mainly have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62987]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that there were only two people in my high school that were comfortable there, and I think they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that there were only two people in my high school that were comfortable there, and I think they are both pumping gas now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expected today's stage to be drier than yesterday, because of the slightly higher altitude.
