The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Best fishing in troubled waters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Best fishing in troubled waters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A strange, glazed expression came into his eyes and he staggered around the cabin looking for all the world like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62676]]></link><description><![CDATA[A strange, glazed expression came into his eyes and he staggered around the cabin looking for all the world like a zombie unwilling to take part in an experiment in advanced necromancy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373   Both from the confession of the evil spirits and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8101]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373   Both from the confession of the evil spirits and from the daily witness of His works, it is manifest, then, and let none presume to doubt it, that the Savior has raised His own body, and that He is very Son of God, having His being from God as from a Father, Whose Word and Wisdom and Whose Power He is. He it is Who in these latter days assumed a body for the salvation of us all, and taught the world concerning the Father. He it is Who has destroyed death and freely graced us all with incorruption through the promise of the resurrection, having raised His own body as its first-fruits, and displayed it by the sign of the cross as the monument to His victory over death and its corruption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1032]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However boldly their warm blood was spilt, Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;  And this they knew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18460]]></link><description><![CDATA[However boldly their warm blood was spilt, Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;  And this they knew and felt, at least the one,   The leader of the hand he had undone,--    Who, born for better things, had madly set     His life upon a cast, which linger'd yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27543]]></link><description><![CDATA[All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gossiping doesn't belong in the office.
