Heaven overarches you and me: A little while and we shall be - Please God -- where there is no more sea    Nor barren wilderness. Heaven overarches you and me,   And all earth's gardens and her braves.  Look up with me, until we see  The day break and the shadows flee.  What though to-night wrecks you and me,     If so to-morrow saves?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Transcendental moonshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Transcendental moonshine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Christians are ever to be united, they must be united in Christ, their living head and the source of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6517]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Christians are ever to be united, they must be united in Christ, their living head and the source of their spiritual life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her mind lives tidily, apart From cold and noise and pain, And bolts the door against her heart, Out wailing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her mind lives tidily, apart From cold and noise and pain, And bolts the door against her heart, Out wailing in the rain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is the Fifth.

There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44394]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You make decisions, and it doesn't always turn out right.

And Saint Paul, speaking of those that die with Christ, that they may live no longer to themselves, but to Him that died for them, does not mean this of monks only, but of Christians universally.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay you with the capacity of more love; for love is Heaven: love is God within you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one thinkes his sacke heaviest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one thinkes his sacke heaviest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest people to reach with the love of God are not the bad people.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come unto these yellow sands, And then take hands: Courtsied when you have, and kiss'd The wild waves whist. -The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come unto these yellow sands, And then take hands: Courtsied when you have, and kiss'd The wild waves whist. -The Tempest.
