A god who created, and withdrew, could be mighty, but he could not be love. Who could love a God remote, when suffering is our lot? Our God is closer than our problems, for they are out there, to be faced; He is here, beside us, Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4633]]></link><description><![CDATA["Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater. . . suggest that he wear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12686]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater. . . suggest that he wear a tail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last ten years we have come to realize humans are more like worms than we ever imagined. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30741]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last ten years we have come to realize humans are more like worms than we ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18378]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very minute a thought is threatened with publicity it seems to shrink towards mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very minute a thought is threatened with publicity it seems to shrink towards mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I turned the house into a studio and invited over a bunch of sailors, who were actually students I'd met ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39870]]></link><description><![CDATA[I turned the house into a studio and invited over a bunch of sailors, who were actually students I'd met at USC.
