A being outside our world would be a spectator, looking on but taking no part in this life, where we try to be brave despite all the bafflement. A god who created, and withdrew, could be mighty, but he could not be love. Who could love a God remote, when suffering is our lot? Our God is closer than our problems, for they are out there, to be faced; He is here, beside us, Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have played six games this season but this is the first time we have played well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40196]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have played six games this season but this is the first time we have played well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This method gives us an incredible map of the ubiquitous but very diffuse types of disturbances that exist in Brazil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36179]]></link><description><![CDATA[This method gives us an incredible map of the ubiquitous but very diffuse types of disturbances that exist in Brazil or in any tropical forest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the things the business people in the rich world wanted, they got in the Uruguay Round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the things the business people in the rich world wanted, they got in the Uruguay Round.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want.

John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They go swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, they make ice cream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31132]]></link><description><![CDATA[They go swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, they make ice cream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are difficult before they are easy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21922]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are difficult before they are easy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42860]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let all things be done decently and in order. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let all things be done decently and in order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a fresh start for him.
