For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65884]]></link><description><![CDATA[I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every pang that rends the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every pang that rends the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun with light umbertouches vined cucumberThe more he ticklesthe more there are pickles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45590]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun with light umbertouches vined cucumberThe more he ticklesthe more there are pickles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds attempt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds attempt]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9628]]></link><description><![CDATA[My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War will cease when men refuse to fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27657]]></link><description><![CDATA[War will cease when men refuse to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever pruned me.

If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  Whatever task God is calling us to, if it is yours, it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  Whatever task God is calling us to, if it is yours, it is mine, and if it is mine, it is yours. We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item></channel></rss>
