Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11750]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What have they done to you my poor child? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27968]]></link><description><![CDATA[What have they done to you my poor child?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We really looked up to Jamie and Justin, because they paved the way for us as the up-and-coming U.S. team. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29993]]></link><description><![CDATA[We really looked up to Jamie and Justin, because they paved the way for us as the up-and-coming U.S. team.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is found in unlikely places. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is found in unlikely places.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is really for the clubs and players and people providing their feedback to let us know, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28452]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is really for the clubs and players and people providing their feedback to let us know,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't want to be tracked.
