When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reduction of the universe to a single being, the expansion of a single being even to God, this is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60169]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reduction of the universe to a single being, the expansion of a single being even to God, this is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just hope if any of those folks are illegal that they realize there are millions that immigrate properly and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41674]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just hope if any of those folks are illegal that they realize there are millions that immigrate properly and legally and they don't have to protest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, That two red fires in both faces blazed.  She thought he blushed as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4392]]></link><description><![CDATA[His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, That two red fires in both faces blazed.  She thought he blushed as knowing Tarquin's lust,   And, blushing with him, wistly on him gazed;    Her earnest eye did make him more amazed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that the very earliest influence was a horror of having to work in a bank or an office, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35092]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that the very earliest influence was a horror of having to work in a bank or an office, a desire for a free and creative life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never heard a passion so confused, So strange, outrageous, and so variable  As the dog Jew did utter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6173]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never heard a passion so confused, So strange, outrageous, and so variable  As the dog Jew did utter in the streets:   'My daughter!

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every play was like watching a highlight film.

To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304  Most Christians are affected far more than they know by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304  Most Christians are affected far more than they know by the standards and methods of the surrounding world. In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be changed.

My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28482]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28482</guid></item></channel></rss>
