But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Jesus Christ came back today, He and I would get into our brown corduroys and go to the nearest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36661]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Jesus Christ came back today, He and I would get into our brown corduroys and go to the nearest jean store and overturn the racks of blue denim.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't double-click me, I can't do anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9470]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't double-click me, I can't do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content;  There are souls like stars that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19857]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content;  There are souls like stars that dwell apart,   In a fellowless firmament;    There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths     Where highways never ran,--      But let me live by the side of the road,       And be a friend to man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're playing it all over our radio stations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29820]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're playing it all over our radio stations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I studied the lives of great men and famous women; and I found that the men and women who got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58030]]></link><description><![CDATA[I studied the lives of great men and famous women; and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It needs fanatical faith to rationalize our cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53659]]></link><description><![CDATA[It needs fanatical faith to rationalize our cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had no idea where these kids at a small private college in the San Fernando Valley were coming from, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33136]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had no idea where these kids at a small private college in the San Fernando Valley were coming from, why they were coming to hear me, or what they needed to know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I deal with the obvious.

Its concern is with how Israel ought to think of God. To it, the existence of God is not an open question, nor His nature, nor the accessibility of knowledge of Him. God Himself has taken care of that He has made Himself known to His people, and their business is not to feel after Him if haply they may fumblingly find Him, but to hearken to Him as He declares to them what and who He is.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
