It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man. This is proud obstinacy and sacrilegious presumption, originating in a corrupt frenzy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not go down and sit in front of the computer and make myself write; that's not my style. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65365]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not go down and sit in front of the computer and make myself write; that's not my style.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Barbie dolls are not supposed to behave the way I do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4001]]></link><description><![CDATA[We Barbie dolls are not supposed to behave the way I do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation\'s braggart lords. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66182]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation\'s braggart lords.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light troubles speak; immense troubles are silent. [Lat., Curae leves loquuntur, ingentes stupent.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Light troubles speak; immense troubles are silent. [Lat., Curae leves loquuntur, ingentes stupent.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not interested in age.

Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curiosity killed the cat, but for awhile I was a suspect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curiosity killed the cat, but for awhile I was a suspect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should be applying that in a much tougher sense of holding accountable what the fiduciary trusts for these campaigns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40891]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should be applying that in a much tougher sense of holding accountable what the fiduciary trusts for these campaigns are.
