He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  When our lives are focused on God, awe and wonder lead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  When our lives are focused on God, awe and wonder lead us to worship God, filling our inner being with a fullness we would never have thought possible.

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little gale will soon disperse that cloud And blow it to the source from whence it came.  Thy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57908]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little gale will soon disperse that cloud And blow it to the source from whence it came.  Thy very beams will dry those vapors up,   For every cloud engenders not a storm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and graviton have no separate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46592]]></link><description><![CDATA[When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and graviton have no separate existence from matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our wills are ours, we know not how; Our wills are ours, to make them thine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our wills are ours, we know not how; Our wills are ours, to make them thine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human history is work history.
