We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62595]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65789]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63650]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citties are taken by the eares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Citties are taken by the eares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage and grace are a formidable mixture.

How, then, is it with you and me? Be very sure that upon Calvary it was no strange, immoral favouritism that came into operation, whereby because of some beliefs that remain mere dead letters, that produce no change whatever in their characters, some people living the same kind of life as others and following the same selfish interests and ends as they, are given a destiny entirely different. That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46582]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't call a man mad who believes that he eats God, but we do the one who says he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5298]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't call a man mad who believes that he eats God, but we do the one who says he is Jesus Christ]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have caught more ills from people sneezing over me and giving me virus infections than from kissing dogs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12702]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have caught more ills from people sneezing over me and giving me virus infections than from kissing dogs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is where Ray would have wanted to be.
