This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   "Homesickness for the [One True Church]" is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   "Homesickness for the [One True Church]" is genuine and legitimate only in so far as it is a disquietude at the fact that we have lost and forgotten Christ, and with Him have lost the unity of the Church. Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tremble, ye tyrants, for ye can not die. [Fr., Tremblez, tyrans, vous etes immortels.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tremble, ye tyrants, for ye can not die. [Fr., Tremblez, tyrans, vous etes immortels.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21002]]></link><description><![CDATA[The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good clothes open all doors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good clothes open all doors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45844]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average child is an almost non- existent myth.

Richard Chevenix Trench  April 8, 2000 Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  It is the recognition of this divine necessity -- not to forgive, but to forgive in a way which shows that God is irreconcilable to evil, and can never treat it as other or less than it is -- it is the recognition of this divine necessity, or the failure to recognise it, which ultimately divides interpreters of Christianity into evangelical and non-evangelical, those who are true to the New Testament and those who cannot digest it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haven't you ever been using an operating system and said, 'Well, that's stupid, why do the menus look like that?' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haven't you ever been using an operating system and said, 'Well, that's stupid, why do the menus look like that?']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60175]]></link><description><![CDATA[God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The feather, whence the pen Was shaped that traced the lives of these good men,  Dropped from an Angel's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46028]]></link><description><![CDATA[The feather, whence the pen Was shaped that traced the lives of these good men,  Dropped from an Angel's wing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Christianity should happen to be true -- that is to say, if its God is the real God of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7552]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Christianity should happen to be true -- that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe -- then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything.
