Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Light that Failed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25058]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Light that Failed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall you cry because roses have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shall you cry because roses have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Latin America is finishing the year on a very strong tone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Latin America is finishing the year on a very strong tone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And reputation bleeds in ev'ry word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53876]]></link><description><![CDATA[And reputation bleeds in ev'ry word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbours will say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44376]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbours will say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47266]]></link><description><![CDATA[These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to the youth whom Fancy gains, Winning from Reason's hand the reins,  Pity and woe! for such a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to the youth whom Fancy gains, Winning from Reason's hand the reins,  Pity and woe! for such a mind   Is soft contemplative, and kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had more depth on the offensive line this year than ever, and we wanted to keep him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34691]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had more depth on the offensive line this year than ever, and we wanted to keep him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People talk about the middle of the road as though it were unacceptable.
