Like ships storm-driven into port, like starving souls that seek the bread they once despised, like wanderers begging refuge from the whelming night, like prodigals that seek the father's home when all is spent;  yet welcomed at the open door, arms outstretched and kisses for our shame;  so is our coming unto Thee, 0 God. Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fat and fitness can go together, ...

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fraud is the homage that force pays to reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fraud is the homage that force pays to reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justin reminds me of Jim Brown in that he's real lazy getting out of the huddle and getting to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justin reminds me of Jim Brown in that he's real lazy getting out of the huddle and getting to the line, then all of the sudden he's gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You punch me, I punch back.
