Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Columbus, bringing in Adam Foote was a huge pickup for them, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Columbus, bringing in Adam Foote was a huge pickup for them,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so much the first among equals of that world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40288]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is so much the first among equals of that world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[will not make a decision on sending U.S. troops until we have an agreement in hand and can evaluate whether ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41268]]></link><description><![CDATA[will not make a decision on sending U.S. troops until we have an agreement in hand and can evaluate whether it meets the conditions President Clinton has outlined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16791]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mia: I'll just be hanging round the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mia: I'll just be hanging round the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words learn'd by rote a parrot may rehearse, But talking is not always to converse,  Not more distinct from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words learn'd by rote a parrot may rehearse, But talking is not always to converse,  Not more distinct from harmony divine   The constant creaking of a country sign.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always been worried about people who are willing to work for nothing.

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/844]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35461]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not who you can see yourself with.

We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9645]]></link><description><![CDATA[We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9645</guid></item></channel></rss>
