Feelings are very delusive. They often depend on mere natural temperament, and the devil wrests them to our hurt. A glowing imagination is apt to seek itself rather than God. But if you are earnest in striving to serve and endure for God's sake, if you persevere amid temptation, dryness, weariness, and desolation, you may rest assured that your love is real.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we look out towards this love that moves the stars and stirs in the child's heart and claims our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we look out towards this love that moves the stars and stirs in the child's heart and claims our total allegiance, and remember that this alone is Reality and we are only real so far as we conform to its demands, we see our human situation from a fresh angle; and we perceive that it is both more humble and dependent, and more splendid, than we had dreamed. We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am quite unsatisfied by the distinctions between the oral and literate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33133]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am quite unsatisfied by the distinctions between the oral and literate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35158]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to fight for our principles than it is to live up to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21079]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to fight for our principles than it is to live up to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People aren't going to be happy if it goes down this way.

But if our observer had the power and omniscience of the Lord, he would also feel and sense, pulsing through and vibrating from every one of us here below, a desperate and unending plea, "Notice me! I want to be known admired, and loved by the whole world!" And it is this, this glorious weakness, this dependence of ours on each other, that makes some of us usually heroes and fools at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a nice plump missionary ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a nice plump missionary]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4726]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Autumn wins you best by this, its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Autumn wins you best by this, its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless the president can stop the political rhetoric on both sides, we will not get to conference committee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless the president can stop the political rhetoric on both sides, we will not get to conference committee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're not adults.
