Who goeth in the way which Christ hath gone Is much more sure to meet with Him than one   That traveleth by-ways; Perhaps my God, though He be far before,  May turn, and take me by the hand, and more,   May strengthen my decays. Yet, Lord, instruct us to improve our fast By starving sin, and taking such repast   As may our faults control; That ev'ry man may revel at his door, Not in his parlor -- banquetting the poor,   And among those, his soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26649]]></link><description><![CDATA[All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a close connection between lack of confidence and the passionate state of mind... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52276]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a close connection between lack of confidence and the passionate state of mind...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man scores 81 points in a regulation game, that speaks volumes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28622]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man scores 81 points in a regulation game, that speaks volumes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46774]]></link><description><![CDATA[No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'drather be anywhere else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22696]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'drather be anywhere else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's great that you folks down here at WSAV are putting together this kind of telethon, ...

The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find you want me to furnish you with argument and intellects too.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and succeeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...there is no alienation that a little power will not cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52266]]></link><description><![CDATA[...there is no alienation that a little power will not cure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66898]]></link><description><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be honest, we've had no complaints from people with disabilities about being unable to vote with our current voting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37256]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be honest, we've had no complaints from people with disabilities about being unable to vote with our current voting system.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft as some song divine, thy story flows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft as some song divine, thy story flows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not true that the assertion of spiritual principle is vain because we can not see at the moment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7476]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not true that the assertion of spiritual principle is vain because we can not see at the moment how to express that principle in action. It would assuredly make a difference if Christians, in their approach one to another, realized that, in spite of appearances, they were in fact one. If, in their seeking after external reunion, they realized that they were seeking not to create a unity which does not yet exist, but to find an expression for a unity which does exist, which is indeed the one elemental reality, they would approach one another in a better frame of mind. The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53928]]></link><description><![CDATA[The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The slothful is the servant of the counters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49914]]></link><description><![CDATA[The slothful is the servant of the counters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49914</guid></item></channel></rss>
