For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63482]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing eases my suffering... writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing eases my suffering... writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let his tormentor conscience find him out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let his tormentor conscience find him out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our calling is not primarily to be holy women, but to work for God and for others with Him.

Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good children's literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good children's literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56434]]></link><description><![CDATA[The egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the more our egoism is satisfied, the more robust is our belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death-the last voyage, the longest and the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death-the last voyage, the longest and the best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know of any environmental group in any country that does not view its government as an adversary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13996]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know of any environmental group in any country that does not view its government as an adversary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Margery Kempe, Mystic, after 1433   Contempt of material things as such is, in fact, no more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Margery Kempe, Mystic, after 1433   Contempt of material things as such is, in fact, no more orthodox than pantheism -- it is the great dualist heresy which always lies in wait for an over-spiritualized Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66025]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are we not all members of the same Body and partakers of the same Spirit and heirs of the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are we not all members of the same Body and partakers of the same Spirit and heirs of the same blessed hope of eternal life? ...
