This the judge desires to have proved to him; but you, with swelling words and extravagant gestures, dilate on the Battle of Cannae, the Mithridatic war, and the perjuries of the insensate Carthaginians, the Syllae, the Marii, and the Mucii.

When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Saviour would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44994]]></link><description><![CDATA[One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creator Venus, genial power of love, The bliss of men below, and gods above!  Beneath the sliding sun thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creator Venus, genial power of love, The bliss of men below, and gods above!  Beneath the sliding sun thou runn'st thy race,   Dost fairest shine, and best become thy place;    For thee the winds their eastern blasts forbear,     Thy mouth reveals the spring, and opens all the year;      Thee, goddess, thee, the storms of winter fly,       Earth smiles with flowers renewing, laughs the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chickenpox is not necessarily a benign disease or a childhood rite of passage.

Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He told us the game wasn't over.
