"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is its own reward, but then so is sin! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is its own reward, but then so is sin!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes our work feels small and insignificant.

A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never believe your doubts and never doubt your beliefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never believe your doubts and never doubt your beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've built crude supplies far in excess of what the market is expecting and that should weigh on prices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28413]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've built crude supplies far in excess of what the market is expecting and that should weigh on prices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have this running quandary about Christmas.

I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violence has no constitutional sanction; and every government from the beginning has moved against it.
