And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a dirty trick played on us to achieve the continuation of the species. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a dirty trick played on us to achieve the continuation of the species.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The leaves of memory seemed to make A mournful rustling in the dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26985]]></link><description><![CDATA[The leaves of memory seemed to make A mournful rustling in the dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gossips are frogs, they drinke and talke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gossips are frogs, they drinke and talke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That team is good.

In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All war represents a failure of diplomacy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12321]]></link><description><![CDATA[All war represents a failure of diplomacy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the great department store of life, baseball is the toy department. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3770]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the great department store of life, baseball is the toy department.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Robust demand for cruise vacations continued into our seasonally strong summer period.
