A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God.

A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54691]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often a noble face hides filthy ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often a noble face hides filthy ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was heavy with the even, When she lit her glimmering tapers  Round the day's dead sanctities.   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14265]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was heavy with the even, When she lit her glimmering tapers  Round the day's dead sanctities.   I laughed in the morning's eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of the healing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47462]]></link><description><![CDATA[By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of the healing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47462</guid></item></channel></rss>
