Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average man does not get pleasure out of an idea because he thinks it is true; he thinks it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46725]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average man does not get pleasure out of an idea because he thinks it is true; he thinks it is true because he gets pleasure out of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The winds grow high; Impending tempests charge the sky;  The lightning flies, the thunder roars;   And big ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57901]]></link><description><![CDATA[The winds grow high; Impending tempests charge the sky;  The lightning flies, the thunder roars;   And big waves lash the frightened shores.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21371]]></link><description><![CDATA[All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work out your own salvation.

The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To quote copiously and well requires taste, judgment and erudition, a feeling for the beautiful, an appreciation of the noble, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52834]]></link><description><![CDATA[To quote copiously and well requires taste, judgment and erudition, a feeling for the beautiful, an appreciation of the noble, and a sense of the profound]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who that has reason, and his smell, Would not among roses and jasmin dwell? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who that has reason, and his smell, Would not among roses and jasmin dwell?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York;  And all the clouds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York;  And all the clouds that lowered upon our house   In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65190]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A faith to live by, a self to live with, and a purpose to live for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22070]]></link><description><![CDATA[A faith to live by, a self to live with, and a purpose to live for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue; it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue; it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a fine line between dreams and reality, it's up to you to draw it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12886]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a fine line between dreams and reality, it's up to you to draw it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A careless shoe string, in whose tie I see a wilde civility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56213]]></link><description><![CDATA[A careless shoe string, in whose tie I see a wilde civility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest part of this job is that you have to be more than a manager.
