And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She who from April dates her years, Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears  For vain repentance flow; this stone, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2975]]></link><description><![CDATA[She who from April dates her years, Diamonds should wear, lest bitter tears  For vain repentance flow; this stone,   Emblem of innocence is known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She only said, My life is dreary, He cometh not, she said;  She said I am aweary, aweary,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51712]]></link><description><![CDATA[She only said, My life is dreary, He cometh not, she said;  She said I am aweary, aweary,   Oh God, that I were dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have proved that one (species) is transforming into the other, so this evidence is important to show that there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30084]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have proved that one (species) is transforming into the other, so this evidence is important to show that there is human evolution... that human evolution is a fact and not a hypothesis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the stupidest calves choose their own butcher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the stupidest calves choose their own butcher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My poverty, but not my will consents. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51481]]></link><description><![CDATA[My poverty, but not my will consents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  When Christ was in the world, He was despised by men; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  When Christ was in the world, He was despised by men; in the hour of need He was forsaken by acquaintances and left by friends to the depths of scorn. He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspense is worse than disappointment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspense is worse than disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stillborn silence! thou that art Flood-gate of the deeper heart! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stillborn silence! thou that art Flood-gate of the deeper heart!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The captive birds no longer flewTheir cadaverous bodies giving fluand Avian Spongiform Encephalopathy..

Surrendering your head to your heart in those moments will lead you to balance and fulfillment. As you listen to your spirit, peace follows. So follow your spirit. Build your foundation in your heart. Love must be your innermost and spontaneous response towards every person you encounter. Say to yourself inside, "I just love." Use these words as a key to start the engine running in your heart and watch life brighten with new love and understanding. Surrender to your new awareness and let love unfold the purpose of creation to you. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But silence never shows itself to so great an advantage, as when it is made the reply to calumny and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56268]]></link><description><![CDATA[But silence never shows itself to so great an advantage, as when it is made the reply to calumny and defamation, provided that we give no just occasion for them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2476]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[‘Nouveau riche’ is better than ‘no riche.’ ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14768]]></link><description><![CDATA[‘Nouveau riche’ is better than ‘no riche.’]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically I am interrested in friendship, sex, and death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically I am interrested in friendship, sex, and death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Properly speaking, such work is never finished; one must declare it so when, according to time and circumstances, one has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Properly speaking, such work is never finished; one must declare it so when, according to time and circumstances, one has done one's best. [Ger., So eine Arbeit wird eigentlich nie fertig; man muss sie fur fertig erklaren, wenn man nach Zeit und Umstand das Moglichste getan hat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No intelligent man has any respect for an unjust law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47175]]></link><description><![CDATA[No intelligent man has any respect for an unjust law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Online poker has served as a learning platform for many players who have now started to take part in poker ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Online poker has served as a learning platform for many players who have now started to take part in poker tournaments in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and elsewhere.
