Of the present moment -- and of it only -- humans have an experience analogous to the experience which God has of reality as a whole; in it alone, freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death keepes no Calender. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49194]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death keepes no Calender.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer creaks and ;groans.
