But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's Agamemnon, an honest fellow enough, and one that loves quails, but he has not so much brain as ear-wax; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's Agamemnon, an honest fellow enough, and one that loves quails, but he has not so much brain as ear-wax; and the goodly transformation of Jupiter there, his brother, the bull, the primitive statue and oblique memorial of cockolds; a thrifty shoeing-horn in a chain, hanging at his brother's leg, to what form but that he is should wit larded with malice and malice forced with wit turn him to?

It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After seven years of writing - and working many jobs to support my family - I finally got published. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40884]]></link><description><![CDATA[After seven years of writing - and working many jobs to support my family - I finally got published.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ultimately it all comes down to money, ultimately it all comes down to lab capacity.
