That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My lodging it is on the cold ground, and very hard is my fare, But that which troubles me most, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60263]]></link><description><![CDATA[My lodging it is on the cold ground, and very hard is my fare, But that which troubles me most, is the unkindness of my dear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I think about all the men and women all over the world who have signed up for much longer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36787]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I think about all the men and women all over the world who have signed up for much longer than two years, this is the least I can do,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somalis themselves feel that they are under some sort of what they call psychological warfare.

You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can giveyourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, orsome time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough toaccept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, andfrom the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65086]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Racism, in the first place, is a weapon used by the wealthy to increase the profits they bring in by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52918]]></link><description><![CDATA[Racism, in the first place, is a weapon used by the wealthy to increase the profits they bring in by paying Black workers less for their work]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man of pleasure is a man of pains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45376]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man of pleasure is a man of pains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62360]]></link><description><![CDATA[And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is by far the longest pleasure; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is by far the longest pleasure; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God sendeth cold after clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51918]]></link><description><![CDATA[God sendeth cold after clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot tell what the dickens his name is. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item></channel></rss>
