It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very difficult to be great.

And this word of God which brought all worlds into being cannot be understood to mean the Bible, for it is not a written or printed word at all, but the expression of the will of God spoken into the structure of all things. This word of God is the breath of God filling the world with living potentiality. The Voice of God is the most powerful force in nature, indeed the only force in nature, for all energy is here only because the power-filled Word is being spoken.
