How many inventions are some people forced to have recourse to in order to keep off a certain inward uneasiness, which they are afraid of and know not whence it comes? Alas, it is because there is a fallen spirit, a dark, aching fire, within them, which has never had its proper relief and is trying to discover itself and calling out for help at every cessation of worldly joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them learn first to show pity at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them learn first to show pity at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're really excited about this.

It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause.
