Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66590]]></link><description><![CDATA[For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If little else, the brain is an educational toy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13473]]></link><description><![CDATA[If little else, the brain is an educational toy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had literary references, so we knew what we were talking about.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For as nightingales do upon glow-worms feed, So poets live upon the living light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44540]]></link><description><![CDATA[For as nightingales do upon glow-worms feed, So poets live upon the living light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is far too important a thing ever to talk about. -Oscar Wilde. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is far too important a thing ever to talk about. -Oscar Wilde.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That somehow they can't shut up -- that they're dangerous, ...
