Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is far easier to begin a task than to finish it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50878]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is far easier to begin a task than to finish it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Betrayal is about learning not to idealize external sources. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4172]]></link><description><![CDATA[Betrayal is about learning not to idealize external sources.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him play the second fiddle who can't play the first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him play the second fiddle who can't play the first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Is there no hope?" the sick man said, The silent doctor shook his head,  And took his leave with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26693]]></link><description><![CDATA["Is there no hope?" the sick man said, The silent doctor shook his head,  And took his leave with signs of sorrow,   Despairing of his fee to-morrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not enough to be able to pick up a sword.
