Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God comes to the hungry in the form of food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21098]]></link><description><![CDATA[God comes to the hungry in the form of food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know that anyone is going to be bringing Bush into the state. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31218]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know that anyone is going to be bringing Bush into the state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blind person, in reality, is the only person who can truly see.

We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wrongs unredressed, or insults unavenged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wrongs unredressed, or insults unavenged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a good tax. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58697]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a good tax.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray Him to give you what the Scriptures call "an honest and good heart," or "a perfect heart;" and, without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pray Him to give you what the Scriptures call "an honest and good heart," or "a perfect heart;" and, without waiting, begin at once to obey Him with the best heart you have. Any obedience is better than none. You have to seek His face; obedience is the only way of seeing Him. All your duties are obediences. To do what He bids is to obey Him, and to obey Him is to approach Him. Every act of obedience is an approach -- an approach to Him who is not far off, though He seems so, but close behind this visible screen of things hiding Him from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64153]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Isocrates adviseth Demonicus, when he came to a strange city, to worship by all means the gods of the place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Isocrates adviseth Demonicus, when he came to a strange city, to worship by all means the gods of the place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62303</guid></item></channel></rss>
