Like ships storm-driven into port, like starving souls that seek the bread they once despised, like wanderers begging refuge from the whelming night, like prodigals that seek the father's home when all is spent;  yet welcomed at the open door, arms outstretched and kisses for our shame;  so is our coming unto Thee, 0 God. Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1489]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beare with evill, and expect good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beare with evill, and expect good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tide sent into the cleft of rock Neptune's polyfingered hand ofwelcome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1639]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tide sent into the cleft of rock Neptune's polyfingered hand ofwelcome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is an unanswered question, but let's still believe in the dignity and importance of the question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is an unanswered question, but let's still believe in the dignity and importance of the question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to be on live TV with the prime minister.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dunno.
