It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People ask for criticism, but they only want praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10753]]></link><description><![CDATA[People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put himself upon his good behavior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Put himself upon his good behavior.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8667]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their own death accompanies the wound they inflict. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their own death accompanies the wound they inflict.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274 My God, I love Thee -- not because I hope ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274 My God, I love Thee -- not because I hope for heaven thereby, Nor yet because who love Thee not must die eternally. 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[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society.
