The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So bent on self-sanctifying,-- That she never thought of trying  To save her poor husband as well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61869]]></link><description><![CDATA[So bent on self-sanctifying,-- That she never thought of trying  To save her poor husband as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride of the dewy morning, The swain's experienced eye  From thee takes timely warning.   Nor trusts the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride of the dewy morning, The swain's experienced eye  From thee takes timely warning.   Nor trusts the gorgeous sky.   - John Keble,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian, 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian, 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, 709  Life is at its noblest and its best when our effort cooperates with God's grace to produce the necessary loveliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider yourself as always wrong, as having gone aside, and lost your right path, when any delight, desire, or trouble, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider yourself as always wrong, as having gone aside, and lost your right path, when any delight, desire, or trouble, is suffered to live in you, that cannot be made a part of this prayer of the heart to God. For nothing so infallibly shows us the true state of our heart, as that which gives us either delight or trouble; for as our delight and trouble is, so is the state of our heart: if therefore you are carried away with any trouble or delight, that has not an immediate relation to your progress in the divine life, you may be assured your heart is not in its right state of prayer to God.
