He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said I'm so proud of my daughter, and I love you and dad so much.

It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gem cannot be polished without friction, not a man perfected without trials. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18414]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gem cannot be polished without friction, not a man perfected without trials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3098]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a rule of thumb, we give 10 days for them to move out if they are found to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35040]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a rule of thumb, we give 10 days for them to move out if they are found to be in possession of drugs.
