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[Linnets . . . sit On the dead tree, a dull despondent flock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Linnets . . . sit On the dead tree, a dull despondent flock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the counsell of fooles a woodden bell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50016]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the counsell of fooles a woodden bell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in Nature's sober found, But an eternal Health goes round.  Fill up the Bowl then, fill it high-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing in Nature's sober found, But an eternal Health goes round.  Fill up the Bowl then, fill it high--   Fill all the Glasses there;
