Ecclesiastics seems for the most part to have failed, failed both man and God; but God has not failed, Jesus has not failed. The God-man still remains the only leader into cooperation whose wisdom is sufficient for a permanent, competent, and free Society. The dictators and would-be dictators will not do. They overreach themselves. Eventually they will destroy one another, and kill off most of us. But even that disaster will not eradicate the desire of men and women to lay down lives for that which is more than themselves. Men will continue to demand not the freedom from that degree of unity for which the dictatorships stand, but rather a finer, more noble, more perceptive kind of unity: a human solidarity which is not nationalistic but world-embracing, a human integration which in aim and purpose is not secularist but spiritual. What the world unwittingly is groping after is allegiance to the eternal, the compassionate, the completely integrating Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy not greatness: for thou mak'st thereby Thyself the worse, and so the distance greater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy not greatness: for thou mak'st thereby Thyself the worse, and so the distance greater.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair insect! that, with threadlike legs spread out, And blood-extracting bill and filmy wing,  Dost murmur, as thou slowly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair insect! that, with threadlike legs spread out, And blood-extracting bill and filmy wing,  Dost murmur, as thou slowly sail'st about,   In pitiless ears full many a plaintive thing,    And tell how little our large veins would bleed,     Would we but yield them to thy bitter need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Part of being a champ is acting like a champ.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a close shorne sheepe, God gives wind by measure. [To a close shorn sheep, God gives wind by measure.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49991]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a close shorne sheepe, God gives wind by measure. [To a close shorn sheep, God gives wind by measure.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tools of the trade ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tools of the trade]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's fun being a kid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21241]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's fun being a kid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except a politician or an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57001]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except a politician or an official, a society where enterprise gains no reward and thrift no privileges.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gladio had been necessary during the days of the Cold War but, in view of the collapse of the East ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gladio had been necessary during the days of the Cold War but, in view of the collapse of the East Block, Italy would suggest to Nato that the organisation was no longer necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a long way before this (race) is over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34555]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a long way before this (race) is over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The severe schools shall never laugh me out of the philosophy of Hermes, that this visible world is but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The severe schools shall never laugh me out of the philosophy of Hermes, that this visible world is but a picture of the invisible, wherein as in a portrait, things are not truly, but in equivocal shapes, and as they counterfeit some real substance in that invisible fabric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love my children.
