Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have to say I was very pleased with the way we played.

But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excess on occasion is exhilarating.

The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody who knows football knows that everything starts up front on both sides of the ball, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody who knows football knows that everything starts up front on both sides of the ball,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945   Come to the Bible, not to study the history of God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945   Come to the Bible, not to study the history of God's divine action, but to be its object; not to learn what it has achieved throughout the centuries and still does, but simply to be the subject of its operation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But still his tongue ran on, the less Of weight it bore, with greater ease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58604]]></link><description><![CDATA[But still his tongue ran on, the less Of weight it bore, with greater ease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty catch themselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty catch themselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By merit raised To that bad eminence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27389]]></link><description><![CDATA[By merit raised To that bad eminence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3411]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27400]]></link><description><![CDATA[True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and the Charger AN ASS congratulated a Horse on being so ungrudgingly andcarefully provided for, while he himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and the Charger AN ASS congratulated a Horse on being so ungrudgingly andcarefully provided for, while he himself had scarcely enough toeat and not even that without hard work.
