Jupiter,after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him tobe sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   Can we believe that God ever modifies His action in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   Can we believe that God ever modifies His action in response to the suggestions of man? For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The underlying questions are always: What is the Church?

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64360]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swallow is come! The swallow is come!  O, fair are the seasons, and light   Are the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58435]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swallow is come! The swallow is come!  O, fair are the seasons, and light   Are the days that she brings,    With her dusky wings,     And her bosom snowy white!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The possibility of rejection was ever present.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stability has been a concern here, but there is nothing to indicate any instability -- certainly there has been political ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stability has been a concern here, but there is nothing to indicate any instability -- certainly there has been political chaos.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An aristocracy in a republic is like a chicken whose head has been cut off; it may run about in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3099]]></link><description><![CDATA[An aristocracy in a republic is like a chicken whose head has been cut off; it may run about in a lively way, but in fact it is dead]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O faithful conscience, delicately pure, how doth a little failing wound thee sore! [It., O dignitosa coscienza e netta,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9797]]></link><description><![CDATA[O faithful conscience, delicately pure, how doth a little failing wound thee sore! [It., O dignitosa coscienza e netta,  Come t' e picciol fallo amaro morso.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act quickly, think slowly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Act quickly, think slowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The war on terrorism is still his strong suit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28645]]></link><description><![CDATA[The war on terrorism is still his strong suit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest happiness, the purest joys of life, wear out at last. [Ger., Das beste Gluck, des Lebens schonste Kraft ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18651]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest happiness, the purest joys of life, wear out at last. [Ger., Das beste Gluck, des Lebens schonste Kraft  Ermattet endlich.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When danger approaches, sing to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29551]]></link><description><![CDATA[When danger approaches, sing to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was better than the last one.
