Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This world's a bubble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62192]]></link><description><![CDATA[This world's a bubble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only one thing is quite certain: he too has his time and not more than his time.

One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is much that is bad and meaningless in the universe, and the universe contains men who know that much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8340]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is much that is bad and meaningless in the universe, and the universe contains men who know that much is bad and meaningless.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons whose devotion is of long continuance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ's sake, would not have been less forward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ's sake, would not have been less forward to minister onto Christ Himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mother endures with greater courage the loss of one out many children, than she who, in her tears, exclaims, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mother endures with greater courage the loss of one out many children, than she who, in her tears, exclaims, "Thou wast my only one!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our dreams drench us in senses, and senses steps us again in dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our dreams drench us in senses, and senses steps us again in dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is awesome.
