It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36441]]></link><description><![CDATA[An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of truth is said in jest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66382]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of truth is said in jest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You couldn't believe how crowded the gym was that night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33299]]></link><description><![CDATA[You couldn't believe how crowded the gym was that night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Girls usually have a paper mâché face on their wedding day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Girls usually have a paper mâché face on their wedding day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crowd gives the leader new strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24408]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crowd gives the leader new strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart resolves this matter in a trice, "Men only feel the smart, but not the vice." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart resolves this matter in a trice, "Men only feel the smart, but not the vice."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hatred of relatives is the most violent. [Lat., Accerima proximorum odia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51678]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hatred of relatives is the most violent. [Lat., Accerima proximorum odia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best time to make friends is before you need them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65658]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best time to make friends is before you need them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44654</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[Look not mournfully into the Past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present; it is thine. Go forth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look not mournfully into the Past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future without fear and with a manly heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15551]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sean is a now guy whose technical part and mental part is so good.

This can happen, but if it does not, it is not a sign that the meditation period has been useless. Not only at the beginning, but repeatedly, there will be times when we feel a great spiritual dryness and apathy, an aversion, even an inability to meditate. We dare not be balked by such experiences. Above all, we must not allow them to keep us from adhering to our meditation period with great patience and fidelity.  It is, therefore, not good for us to take too seriously the many untoward experiences we have with ourselves in meditation. It is here that our old vanity and our illicit claims upon God may creep in by a pious detour, as if it were our right to have nothing but elevating and fruitful experiences, and as if the discovery of our own inner poverty were quite beneath our dignity. With that attitude, we shall make no progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say fingers were made before forks, and hands before knives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13282]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say fingers were made before forks, and hands before knives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None so blind as those that will not see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4337]]></link><description><![CDATA[None so blind as those that will not see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is fame?
