The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea that media is there to educate us, or to inform us, is ridiculous because that's about tenth or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23362]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea that media is there to educate us, or to inform us, is ridiculous because that's about tenth or eleventh on their list.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus conscience does make cowards of us all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus conscience does make cowards of us all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you play with the big dogs, you're going to get hurt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31486]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you play with the big dogs, you're going to get hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children when they are little make parents fooles, when they are great they make them mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49173]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children when they are little make parents fooles, when they are great they make them mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During his lifetime, when he was insulted or encountered offensive behavior, he did not respond with rage or violence.

We are bound to Him, and not He to us, because before He was loved, He loved us... There it is, then: we cannot... love Him with this first love. Yet I say that God demands of us, that as He has loved us without any second thoughts, so He should be loved by us. In what way can we do this, then? ...

To show the love that we have for Him, we ought to serve and love every rational creature and extend our charity to good and bad -- as much to one who does us ill service and criticizes us as to one who serves us. For, His charity extends over just men and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what's romance?
