People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money grows on the tree of persistence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money grows on the tree of persistence]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18036]]></link><description><![CDATA[A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations.Then someone got the idea that there were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21682]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations.Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeperdown. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher.Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to findsupernatural resources.

I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The road winds up the hill to meet the height; Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight -- And yet no man would foolishly contend.
