He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father. The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons. Yet each member of the family discovers what it is to give of himself for the sake of the others. The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is not the key to happiness.

The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only limits are, as always, those of vision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22559]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only limits are, as always, those of vision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I stay up so late that I have my morning coffee before I go to bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I stay up so late that I have my morning coffee before I go to bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers: Of April, May, of June, and July flowers.  I sing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57796]]></link><description><![CDATA[I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers: Of April, May, of June, and July flowers.  I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, wassails, wakes,   Of bridegrooms, brides, and of their bridal cakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have only one eye,--I have a right to be blind sometimes . . .
