But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man was ever endowed with a right without being at the same time saddled with a responsibility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54276]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man was ever endowed with a right without being at the same time saddled with a responsibility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can occur beyond the strength of faith to sustain, or, transcending the resources of religion, to relieve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can occur beyond the strength of faith to sustain, or, transcending the resources of religion, to relieve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The minute you become conscious that you are doing good, that's the minute you have to stop because from then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66086]]></link><description><![CDATA[The minute you become conscious that you are doing good, that's the minute you have to stop because from then on it's wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest of distinctions is service to others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22545]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest of distinctions is service to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He didn't quite manage to get his leg over.' - about Ian Botham, though admittedly on the cricket pitch at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38999]]></link><description><![CDATA[He didn't quite manage to get his leg over.' - about Ian Botham, though admittedly on the cricket pitch at the time]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Observe your enemies, for they first find out your faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Observe your enemies, for they first find out your faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that stand high have many blasts to shake them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51511]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that stand high have many blasts to shake them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64333]]></link><description><![CDATA[American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundations of a person are not in matter but in spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57410]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundations of a person are not in matter but in spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  There is a cowardice in this age which is not Christian.

We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is not just.
