The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space and light and order.

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18376]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The enemies you make by taking a decided stand generally have more respect for you than the friends you make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13813]]></link><description><![CDATA[The enemies you make by taking a decided stand generally have more respect for you than the friends you make by being on the fence]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know that words cannot move mountains, but they can move the multitude; and men are more ready to fight ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56852]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know that words cannot move mountains, but they can move the multitude; and men are more ready to fight and die for a word than for anything else.

And that, queerly enough as you might think, the man was not discomfited but heartened. Here at last, he felt, is one who understands and knows the facts. And since His desperate diagnosis is so accurate, may not His optimism also justify itself even in me. Well does He know what is in human nature, and yet, knowing the worst, He still has confident hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the veil Spun from the cobweb fashion of the times,  TO hid the feeling heart? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20218]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the veil Spun from the cobweb fashion of the times,  TO hid the feeling heart?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Order is Heaven's first law; and this confess, Some are and must be greater than the rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Order is Heaven's first law; and this confess, Some are and must be greater than the rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All paths are the same, leading nowhere.
