He has taken a cheerful view of the prospects of the race and of the future of human history, staying his soul upon the promise of further "evolution" of the human individual, the continuous upward progress of civilization, or perhaps the confident expectation of a completely revolutionized order of society -- a communist Utopia beyond the class struggle or something else of that same general kind. Where such hopes remain unchastened by the cold touch of reality, there is little prospect of the Christian Gospel recommending itself to men's minds, and any wordy defense of it is likely to be quite useless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which, if it were available in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which, if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were I a cloud I'd gather My skirts up in the air,  And fly well know whither,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were I a cloud I'd gather My skirts up in the air,  And fly well know whither,   And rest I well know where.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2513]]></link><description><![CDATA[When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a step in the direction of releasing all Palestinian prisoners.

That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of breaking that bridge, we should, if possible, provide another, that he may retire the sooner out of Europe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of breaking that bridge, we should, if possible, provide another, that he may retire the sooner out of Europe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were trying to give it its own identity.
