The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The balmy zephyrs, silent since her death, Lament the ceasing of a sweeter breath. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62670]]></link><description><![CDATA[The balmy zephyrs, silent since her death, Lament the ceasing of a sweeter breath.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Bellenden we needs must praise, Who as down the stairs she jumps  Sings o'er the hill and far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43421]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Bellenden we needs must praise, Who as down the stairs she jumps  Sings o'er the hill and far away,   Despising doleful dumps.   - Unattributed Author,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you're going out.
