We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, with very young people, is a heartless business.

How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The road is long fro the project to its completion. [Fr., Et le chemin est long du projet a la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13786]]></link><description><![CDATA[The road is long fro the project to its completion. [Fr., Et le chemin est long du projet a la chose.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Antidotes are what you take to prevent dotes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Antidotes are what you take to prevent dotes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has been compared to a race, but the allusion improves by observing, that the most swift are usually the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/78]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has been compared to a race, but the allusion improves by observing, that the most swift are usually the least manageable and the most likely to stray from the course.
