This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven.

Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day. Finally a neighbor said to them, If you go on in this way, you will soon destroy by frequent use the pleasure of your exchange, and each will again wish to retain the fruits of his own sport. Abstain and enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63694]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I design for real people.
