When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one of them shows a different picture of misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one of them shows a different picture of misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great put the little on the hooke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49863]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great put the little on the hooke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Works of art are all that survive of incredibly gifted people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Works of art are all that survive of incredibly gifted people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have no enemies, you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13867]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have no enemies, you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn from you're mistakes, don't get bitten by the same dog twice coz you're the victim just the 1st time. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn from you're mistakes, don't get bitten by the same dog twice coz you're the victim just the 1st time. after that, you're already a volunteer!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus might have said, "I became man for you.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are like stained-glass windows.

The illness was protracted... I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  The truth of Christ's supremacy over all the powers in the universe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  The truth of Christ's supremacy over all the powers in the universe is one which modern man sorely needs to learn. He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whom does undeserved honour please, and undeserved blame alarm, but the base and the liar? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whom does undeserved honour please, and undeserved blame alarm, but the base and the liar?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideas that come out of most brainstorming sessions are usually superficial, trivial, and not very original.

And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test. Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701</guid></item></channel></rss>
