Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59862]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight.

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means of great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48292]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would just support each other -- that's ninety percent of the problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53314]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would just support each other -- that's ninety percent of the problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no rest, but in a nook, with the Book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8099]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no rest, but in a nook, with the Book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49509]]></link><description><![CDATA[If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be it not in thy care.
