And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not in fashion, you are nobody. - "Letter to his son", April 30, 1750. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2855]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not in fashion, you are nobody. - "Letter to his son", April 30, 1750.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without discipline, there's no life at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without discipline, there's no life at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus when I shun Scylla, your father, I fall into Charybdis, your mother. -The Merchant of Venice.

That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22847]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giving advice to a stupid man is like giving salt to a squirrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Giving advice to a stupid man is like giving salt to a squirrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew his father very well.
