Every pulse of love is a tendril that draws us in His direction. Every verification of truth links the finite mind up into a Foundational Mind that undergirds us. Every deed of good will points toward a consummate Goodness which fulfills all our tiny adventures in faith. We can find Him because in Him we live and move and have our being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9281]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  The truth is that every man is in Christ; the condemnation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  The truth is that every man is in Christ; the condemnation of every man is that he will not own the truth, he will not act as if it were true, that except he were joined with Christ, he could not think, breathe, live a single hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My advice was to stay a million miles away from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33264]]></link><description><![CDATA[My advice was to stay a million miles away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The will to domination is a ravenous beast.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one's true worship was that which he found in use in the place where he chanced to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one's true worship was that which he found in use in the place where he chanced to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her mouth is a honey-blossom,  No doubt, as the poet sings; But within her lips, the petals,  Lurks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her mouth is a honey-blossom,  No doubt, as the poet sings; But within her lips, the petals,  Lurks a cruel bee that stings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
