There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's wickedness may easily become all men's curse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61545]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's wickedness may easily become all men's curse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8348]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I kissed her hard and held her tight and tried to open her lips; they were closed tight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23871]]></link><description><![CDATA[I kissed her hard and held her tight and tried to open her lips; they were closed tight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commissions taint the whole process, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35067]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commissions taint the whole process,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the feet, Hercules. [Lat., Ex pede Herculem.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54930]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the feet, Hercules. [Lat., Ex pede Herculem.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far and as wide as you possibly can?

His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for "the Church" but for "the whole inhabited world". The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a handful of short stories, pretending to be a novel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a handful of short stories, pretending to be a novel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cripple in the right way may beat a racer in the wrong one.
