To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love , if you have it , you don't need anything else...and if you don't have it , it harldy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love , if you have it , you don't need anything else...and if you don't have it , it harldy matters what else you have .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   Truth, not eloquence, is to be sought for in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   Truth, not eloquence, is to be sought for in Holy Scripture. Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   The two great features of Protestant theology are its doctrines of justification by faith and the law as the rule of life. This is a synthesis of New Testament grace and Old Testament ethics. With this synthesis, Protestants have solved the problem of finding a gracious God, but they have not solved the problem of finding gracious neighbors. They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A malignant sore throat is a danger, a malignant throat not sore is worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29084]]></link><description><![CDATA[A malignant sore throat is a danger, a malignant throat not sore is worse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Follow your heart, but don’t forget to take your brain with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Follow your heart, but don’t forget to take your brain with you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statement after losing his first fight to Ken Norton, March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statement after losing his first fight to Ken Norton, March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right.
