Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And soon Their hushing dances languished to a stand,  Like midnight leaves when, as the Zephyrs swoon,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62664]]></link><description><![CDATA[And soon Their hushing dances languished to a stand,  Like midnight leaves when, as the Zephyrs swoon,   All on their drooping stems they sink unfanned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am alarmed by reports that data brokers are obtaining and selling customers' personal telephone records without the customers' consent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38978]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am alarmed by reports that data brokers are obtaining and selling customers' personal telephone records without the customers' consent or knowledge.

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55157]]></link><description><![CDATA[If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the flesh]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a two-second call.

As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality through my work...
