It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolution is no strange and extraordinary thing; it is one of the most common acts that belong to us as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resolution is no strange and extraordinary thing; it is one of the most common acts that belong to us as we are men. But we do not ordinarily apply it to the best purposes. It is not so ordinary for men to resolve to be good as to resolve to be rich and great, not so common for men to resolve against sin as to resolve against poverty and suffering. It is not so usual for men to resolve to keep a good conscience as to keep a good place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one knows what Falls Church retail is today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36384]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one knows what Falls Church retail is today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When words leave off, music begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43503]]></link><description><![CDATA[When words leave off, music begins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace, and Patience, and death with repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace, and Patience, and death with repentance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hail, Columbia! happy land! Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!  Who fought and bled in Freedom's cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hail, Columbia! happy land! Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!  Who fought and bled in Freedom's cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oft he that doth abide Is cause of his own paine,  But he that flieth in good tide  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oft he that doth abide Is cause of his own paine,  But he that flieth in good tide   Perhaps may fight again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We weren't sure if he was going to play, but we had a plan for him if he showed up. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36099]]></link><description><![CDATA[We weren't sure if he was going to play, but we had a plan for him if he showed up.

It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Ten acres and a mule." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1946]]></link><description><![CDATA["Ten acres and a mule."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.

There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream That this watch exists and has no watchmaker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10581]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream That this watch exists and has no watchmaker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no rainbow without a cloud and a storm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54630]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no rainbow without a cloud and a storm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20260</guid></item></channel></rss>
