The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and almost never leave. Our lives are measured by those.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you'll be surprised at how little you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you'll be surprised at how little you have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What barn-burners, ...

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not sheer malice that pricks our ears to evil reports about our fellow men.

For there are frequent moments when we feel lower than the lowest of mankind, and this opinion of ourselves isolates us. Hence the rumor that all flesh is base comes almost as a message of hope. It breaks down the wall that has kept us apart, and we feel one with humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests and mines and stone quarries; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests and mines and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  God has no grandchildren. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  God has no grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48217]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you can spring those big runs like that ... that will kill the defense.

Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17067]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The US currency has come under pressure on speculation of a pause in the US monetary tightening cycle together with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41353]]></link><description><![CDATA[The US currency has come under pressure on speculation of a pause in the US monetary tightening cycle together with the increase in the US current account deficit, which the market usually shrugs off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Code of Honor-never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife withmischief as your goal.
