Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer - into a selflessness which links us with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer - into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adam has a good defense in front of him that is playing better and he has been playing better as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adam has a good defense in front of him that is playing better and he has been playing better as the season has progressed.
