There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64879]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fraud is the ready minister of injustice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fraud is the ready minister of injustice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have a much better time of it than women: for one thing they marry later, for another thing they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have a much better time of it than women: for one thing they marry later, for another thing they die earlier.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American people deserve to know that they're not just watching the administration's spin on their local newscasts -- they're ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44451]]></link><description><![CDATA[The American people deserve to know that they're not just watching the administration's spin on their local newscasts -- they're paying for it, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest form of pure thought is in mathematics ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26516]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest form of pure thought is in mathematics]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bulls make money.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ascension Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ascension Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does its successive journeys run, His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brave find a home in every land. [Lat., Omne solum forti patria est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4864]]></link><description><![CDATA[The brave find a home in every land. [Lat., Omne solum forti patria est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8361]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is the bitterest of all,--to wear the yoke of our own wrong-doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52561]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is the bitterest of all,--to wear the yoke of our own wrong-doing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66030]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When friends are at your hearthside met, Sweet courtesy has done its most  If you have made each guest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19852]]></link><description><![CDATA[When friends are at your hearthside met, Sweet courtesy has done its most  If you have made each guest forget   That he himself is not the host.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14814]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the fatt's in the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16015]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the fatt's in the fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tougher the job, the greater the reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15973]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tougher the job, the greater the reward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Metaphysics is a restaurant where they give you a thirty thousand page menu, and no food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Metaphysics is a restaurant where they give you a thirty thousand page menu, and no food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bardot, Byron, Hitler, Hemingway, Monroe, Sade: we do not require our heroes to be subtle, just to be big.
