This is a degradation of God and of ourselves, which has pauperized us in every way over the centuries. God has no need, and if the mission is God's, then we do not ask for help to give God a boost; therefore we do not appeal for funds. We allow people to take a share in God's work, and this is a very different thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody has his own theatre, in which he is manager, actor, prompter, playwright, sceneshifter, boxkeepeer, doorkeeper, all in one, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/424]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody has his own theatre, in which he is manager, actor, prompter, playwright, sceneshifter, boxkeepeer, doorkeeper, all in one, and audience into the bargain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Molly is an awesome player.

Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who survives will see the outcome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27901]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who survives will see the outcome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a moderately fast-moving storm and will be out of here pretty much by Saturday, although there might be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32492]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a moderately fast-moving storm and will be out of here pretty much by Saturday, although there might be some lingering storms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem is why Bush at this time made this kind of statement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40302]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem is why Bush at this time made this kind of statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, And violets bathe in the wet o' the morn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16256]]></link><description><![CDATA[The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, And violets bathe in the wet o' the morn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61367]]></link><description><![CDATA[A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it.

The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We also saw birds or prey, went through the animal hospital, and kids were able to ask a lot of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30510]]></link><description><![CDATA[We also saw birds or prey, went through the animal hospital, and kids were able to ask a lot of questions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vows made in storms are forgotten in calms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vows made in storms are forgotten in calms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46572]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer.
