Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have doubted one's own first principles, is the mark of a civilized man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12792]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have doubted one's own first principles, is the mark of a civilized man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is not human hearted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is not human hearted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is Lucifer, The son of mystery;  And since God suffers him to be,   He, too, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12150]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is Lucifer, The son of mystery;  And since God suffers him to be,   He, too, is God's minister,    And labors for some good     By us not understood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Set up as an ideal the facing of reality as honestly and as cheerfully as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set up as an ideal the facing of reality as honestly and as cheerfully as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit maketh no monke, ne wearing of guilt spurs maketh no knight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit maketh no monke, ne wearing of guilt spurs maketh no knight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the '60s, everyone tried to follow Pontiac's lead and put big engines in mid-sized cars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34888]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the '60s, everyone tried to follow Pontiac's lead and put big engines in mid-sized cars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home. -Bill Cosby. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home. -Bill Cosby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to make this a model for other communities in the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33367]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to make this a model for other communities in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miracles seem to rest, not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miracles seem to rest, not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from far off, but upon our perceptions being made finer so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear that which is about us always. -Willa Cather.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[But after an immediate uproar here, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry began backpedaling.] There is no accord yet, only an idea, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31253]]></link><description><![CDATA[[But after an immediate uproar here, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry began backpedaling.] There is no accord yet, only an idea, ...

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If she's playing like she was today, she can be a one man team.
