Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let God operate in thee; Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let God operate in thee; Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or no He is working with nature or above nature, for His are both nature and grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47482]]></link><description><![CDATA[In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond all human control. Compared to this stupendous mobilization of materials, of wealth, of human intellect, of human labor for the single goal of domination, all other recent human achievements pale to almost trivial significance. Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and "charitable" acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why can't all different types of women be considered beautiful?
