Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one forhim who has the vision to recognize it as such.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel happy because I won, but more because the team won and we needed to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34788]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel happy because I won, but more because the team won and we needed to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This picture, plac'd the busts between Gives Satire all its strength;  Wisdom and Wit are little seen   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14058]]></link><description><![CDATA[This picture, plac'd the busts between Gives Satire all its strength;  Wisdom and Wit are little seen   While Folly glares at length.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got a little present.

In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The audience is the best judge of anything.
