One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well. While he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises, and cried loudly for help, a neighbor ran to the well, and learning what had happened said: Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The superstition was that disability of any sort was the mark of the devil.

The phrases are in languages throughout Europe: the devil's hoof, the devil's horn mark. It reaches back to early Christianity and the middle ages. Where a child was born out of wedlock, the church cooked up the impression that you'd done something sinful, and something dreadful would result. You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ it needs warding off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diligence is the mother of good luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diligence is the mother of good luck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A free man is as jealous of his responsibilities as he is of his liberties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24731]]></link><description><![CDATA[A free man is as jealous of his responsibilities as he is of his liberties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a significant improvement in survival for women with this disease, which is most often diagnosed at an advanced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33369]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a significant improvement in survival for women with this disease, which is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. -J. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. -J.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.
