And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her.

I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In America, you watch TV and think that's totally unreal, then you step outside and it's just the same. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37984]]></link><description><![CDATA[In America, you watch TV and think that's totally unreal, then you step outside and it's just the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7526]]></link><description><![CDATA[A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However, after a long pause in talks, which lasted more than a year, it would be too optimistic to expect ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28845]]></link><description><![CDATA[However, after a long pause in talks, which lasted more than a year, it would be too optimistic to expect any radical breakthroughs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva, Teacher, 1622   What is worst of all is to advocate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva, Teacher, 1622   What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The margin is narrow, but the responsibility is clear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60981]]></link><description><![CDATA[The margin is narrow, but the responsibility is clear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole idea of coming to Pakistan is very exciting on many levels.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And let these altars, wreathed with flowers And piled with fruits, awake again  Thanksgivings for the golden hours,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58998]]></link><description><![CDATA[And let these altars, wreathed with flowers And piled with fruits, awake again  Thanksgivings for the golden hours,   The early and the latter rain!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58998</guid></item></channel></rss>
