But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History knows no resting place and no plateaus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19482]]></link><description><![CDATA[History knows no resting place and no plateaus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44191]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had been talking to the kids in that the bottom of the lineup had to do something and pick ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37293]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had been talking to the kids in that the bottom of the lineup had to do something and pick up some weight too.

This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself meeting them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44149]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself meeting them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prognostics do not always prove prophecies, at least the wisest prophets make sure of the event first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prognostics do not always prove prophecies, at least the wisest prophets make sure of the event first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With more capacity for love than earth Bestows on most of mortal mould and birth,  His early dreams of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5644]]></link><description><![CDATA[With more capacity for love than earth Bestows on most of mortal mould and birth,  His early dreams of good out-stripp'd the truth,   And troubled manhood follow'd baffled youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . how man evolved with such an incredible reservoir of talent and such fantastic diversity isn't completely understood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12594]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . how man evolved with such an incredible reservoir of talent and such fantastic diversity isn't completely understood . . . he knows so little and has nothing to measure himself against.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, she will sing the savageness out of a bear! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56469]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, she will sing the savageness out of a bear!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martha was watching the football game with me when she said, 'You know, most of these sports are based on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Martha was watching the football game with me when she said, 'You know, most of these sports are based on the idea of one group protecting its territory from invasion by another group.'

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item></channel></rss>
