But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Algren's Precepts: Never eat at a place called Mom's.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look at myself objectively and in a way I see myself as a commodity.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I count him lost, who is lost to shame. [Lat., Nam ego illum periisse duco, cui quidem periit pudor.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56134]]></link><description><![CDATA[I count him lost, who is lost to shame. [Lat., Nam ego illum periisse duco, cui quidem periit pudor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That government is best which governs least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47275]]></link><description><![CDATA[That government is best which governs least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farm Safety is important all year long, but we are proud to help Farm Bureau promote safety during spring planting. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farm Safety is important all year long, but we are proud to help Farm Bureau promote safety during spring planting.
