Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's worth at least $2 million, but probably a great deal more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36922]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's worth at least $2 million, but probably a great deal more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as justice-- in or out of court. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23661]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as justice-- in or out of court.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can always win a war, but how does one conquer peace? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45924]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can always win a war, but how does one conquer peace?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54098]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53113</guid></item></channel></rss>
