Some believe the better for seeing Christ's Sepulchre, and when they have seen the Red Sea, doubt not the miracle. Now contrarily I bless myself, and am thankful that I lived not in the days of miracles, that I never saw Christ nor His Disciples; I would not have been one of those Israelites that passed the Red Sea, nor one of Christ's patients, on whom He wrought His wonders; then had my faith been thrust upon me, nor should I enjoy that greater blessing pronounced to all that believe and saw not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now, after that ye have known God, or rather or known of God, how turn ye again to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5631]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now, after that ye have known God, or rather or known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we knocked the bastard off! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we knocked the bastard off!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63636]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;  They have a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12864]]></link><description><![CDATA[And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;  They have a weight upon our waking thoughts,   They take a weight from off our waking toils,    They do divide our being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The political world is stimulating.

Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals.

It is only when we see ourselves as actors in a staged (and therefore unreal) performance that death loses its frightfulness and finality and becomes an act of make-believe and a theatrical gesture. It is one of the main tasks of a real leader to mask the grim reality of dying and killing by evoking in his followers the illusion that they are participating in a grandiose spectacle, a solemn or lighthearted dramatic performance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He just told us to keep going to class, Yeah. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29188]]></link><description><![CDATA[He just told us to keep going to class, Yeah.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Respect the man of noble races other than your own, who carries out, in a different place, a combat parallel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Respect the man of noble races other than your own, who carries out, in a different place, a combat parallel to yours -- to ours.

Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that gives thee a bone, would not have thee die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that gives thee a bone, would not have thee die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as it can solve; since, looking at the matter more closely, we will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as it can solve; since, looking at the matter more closely, we will always find that the task itself arises only when the material conditions necessary for its solution already exist or are at least in the process of formation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look back and thank God.
