Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The things that I've done that have totally been remembered, they've always started with the same kind of engine, they've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37819]]></link><description><![CDATA[The things that I've done that have totally been remembered, they've always started with the same kind of engine, they've always started with someone saying 'I have to make this film - I'm going to make this film whatever the odds'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is something you rise above. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is something you rise above.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went from a barber to cattleman, out of cattle into horses.
