The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most detestable race of enemies are flatterers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51670]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most detestable race of enemies are flatterers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52130]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442]]></link><description><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His providence, enlighten them with His Spirit, and bring them to everlasting happiness, is the divinest exercise that the heart of man can be engaged in. Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit will shine Through the harsh cadence of a rugged line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit will shine Through the harsh cadence of a rugged line.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man. -King John.
