The baring of the teeth in laughter hints at its savage ancestry. Animals have no malice, hence also no laughter. They never savor the sudden glory of Schadenfreude.

Try as he may, he can only let his eyes wander distractedly from one to the other. But there is a place at which God and the cosmic reality are reconciled, a place at which God and man have become one. That and that alone is what enables man to set his eyes upon God and the world at the same time. This place does not lie somewhere out beyond reality in the realm of ideas. It lies in the midst of history as a divine miracle. It lies in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was nervous because any time you start a new program and you're new yourself into being a head coach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33161]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was nervous because any time you start a new program and you're new yourself into being a head coach - I was always an assistant - you always get those jitters, ...

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["If you don't mind me asking," came the bell-like tones of the Golden Diana, "I'd like to know where you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44437]]></link><description><![CDATA["If you don't mind me asking," came the bell-like tones of the Golden Diana, "I'd like to know where you got that City Hall brogue.
