Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity only knocks once ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity only knocks once]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/896]]></link><description><![CDATA[To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole idea of coming to Pakistan is very exciting on many levels.

The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old man, broken with the storms of state, Is come to lay his weary bones among ye: Give him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56050]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old man, broken with the storms of state, Is come to lay his weary bones among ye: Give him a little earth for charity! -King Henry VIII.
