This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My definition of success is total self acceptance.

This faith, once given, proved to be -- like the Person who gave rise to it -- essentially self-authenticating. And ever since, the Church has looked to the Cross, a symbol of weakness, as its unique source of power in preaching the Gospel, its authority both to teach and to preach has been of this kind. No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've personally used e2fsprogs 1.05 to make a 54bib partition.
