It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The education of the will is the object of our existence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61625]]></link><description><![CDATA[The education of the will is the object of our existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the devil when he purports any evil against man, first perverts his mind. [Lat., At daemon, homini quum struit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21013]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the devil when he purports any evil against man, first perverts his mind. [Lat., At daemon, homini quum struit aliquid malum,  Pervertit illi primitus mentem suam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't understand why people like me!

Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.My intent will be evident in the results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think people should be allowed to do anything they want.

He is the beginning, middle, and end of everything to us... There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous, which He is not to His servants. No one need be poor, because, if he chooses, he can have Jesus for his own property and possession. No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts. We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus., or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that night be said of Him. Eternity will not be long enough to learn all He is, or to praise Him for all He has done -- but then, that matters not; for we shall be always with Him, and we desire nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20792]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20792</guid></item></channel></rss>
