Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your capacity to keep your vow will depend on the purity of your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your capacity to keep your vow will depend on the purity of your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles  Christ did not throw about that great word Salvation.

But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We let Carlos, Nasser and Hiroshi pass us today and then we were in their dust.

But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't know where you want to go, we will make sure you get there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61654]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't know where you want to go, we will make sure you get there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are quite confident the system has sufficient checks and balances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40888]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are quite confident the system has sufficient checks and balances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feel the fear and do it anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feel the fear and do it anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have known many who could not when they would, for they had not done it when they could. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61604]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have known many who could not when they would, for they had not done it when they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defence, not defiance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Defence, not defiance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15573]]></link><description><![CDATA[What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where doth the world thrust forth a vanity (So it be new, there's no respect how vile)  That is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where doth the world thrust forth a vanity (So it be new, there's no respect how vile)  That is not quickly buzzed into his ears?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the relationship between man and religion, the state is firmly committed to a position of neutrality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53605]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the relationship between man and religion, the state is firmly committed to a position of neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Possibly, more people kill themselves and others out of hurt vanity than out of envy, jealousy, malice or desire for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Possibly, more people kill themselves and others out of hurt vanity than out of envy, jealousy, malice or desire for revenge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36958]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The improvements in the tax structure in Lake County, including the tax settlement and the personal property change in House ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38697]]></link><description><![CDATA[The improvements in the tax structure in Lake County, including the tax settlement and the personal property change in House Bill 1858 were the primary factors in our decision to go forward with the rebuild, and they will permit this major investment to generate a competitive return.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do or do not.
