He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe me, lords, my tender years can tell Civil dissension is a viperous worm  That gnaws the bowels of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe me, lords, my tender years can tell Civil dissension is a viperous worm  That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You definitely have to respect this place, as we learned in the past with my father and my grandfather ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41465]]></link><description><![CDATA[You definitely have to respect this place, as we learned in the past with my father and my grandfather ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ both had a lot of unfortunate luck here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope we can keep this up and carry it on the good road ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30639]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope we can keep this up and carry it on the good road ahead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!

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[Still believe that ever round you Spirits float who watch and wait;  Nor forget the twain who found you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still believe that ever round you Spirits float who watch and wait;  Nor forget the twain who found you   Sleeping nigh the Golden Gate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talking payes no toll. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talking payes no toll.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
