This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In bed we laugh, in bed we cry; And born in bed, in bed we die;  The near approach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3882]]></link><description><![CDATA[In bed we laugh, in bed we cry; And born in bed, in bed we die;  The near approach a bed may show   Of human bliss to human woe.    [Fr., Theatre des ris et des pleurs     Lit! ou je nais, et ou je meurs,      Tu nous fais voir comment voisins       Sont nos plaisirs et chagrins.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  We ought indeed to expect to find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  We ought indeed to expect to find the works of God in such things as the advance of knowledge. Knowledge of the physical universe is not to be thought of as irrelevant to Christian faith [simply] because it does not lead to saving knowledge of God. In so far as it is concerned with God's creation, physical science is a fitting study for God's children. Moreover, the advance of scientific knowledge does negatively correct and enlarge theological notions--at the least, the geologists and astrophysicists have helped us to rid ourselves of parochial notions of God, and filled in some of the meaning of such phrases as "almighty".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast That found the common daylight sweet, And left to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast That found the common daylight sweet, And left to Heaven the rest. -John V.

The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Very well," cried I, "that's a good girl; I find you are perfectly qualified for making converts, and so go ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10131]]></link><description><![CDATA["Very well," cried I, "that's a good girl; I find you are perfectly qualified for making converts, and so go help your mother to make the gooseberry bye."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know they're not going to lose 162 consecutive games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57657]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know they're not going to lose 162 consecutive games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This group is rich in talent and personality.
