Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are very confident that those extremists will also fail to disrupt and derail voting day.

And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill!  While punctual beaux reward the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58559]]></link><description><![CDATA[May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill!  While punctual beaux reward the grateful notes,   And pay for poems--when they pay for coats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Going around the city, seeing the signs, with John Tyler and things like that, it showed us the entire city ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Going around the city, seeing the signs, with John Tyler and things like that, it showed us the entire city just came right in there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just never got any breaks.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So get the start of the majestic world And bear the palm alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51281]]></link><description><![CDATA[So get the start of the majestic world And bear the palm alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Boy and the NettlesA boy was stung by a Nettle.
