For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing real can be threatened.Nothing unreal exists.(Helen Schucman over 7 years wrote the Course In Miracles). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing real can be threatened.Nothing unreal exists.(Helen Schucman over 7 years wrote the Course In Miracles).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something precious in our being mysteries to ourselves, in our being unable ever to see through even the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43600]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something precious in our being mysteries to ourselves, in our being unable ever to see through even the person who is closest to our heart and to reckon with him as though he were a logical proposition or a problem in accounting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is by such encounters that wits come to know each other. [Ger., Les beaux esprits lernen einander durch dergleichen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61822]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is by such encounters that wits come to know each other. [Ger., Les beaux esprits lernen einander durch dergleichen recontre erkennen.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64278]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch.

Perfect love, we know, casteth out fear. But so do several other things--ignorance, alcohol, passion presumption, and stupidity. It is very desirable that we should all advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any inferior agent to cast out our fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Spiral!" the memorable Lady terms Our mind's ascent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48372]]></link><description><![CDATA["Spiral!" the memorable Lady terms Our mind's ascent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no great future for any people whose faith has burned out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53665]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no great future for any people whose faith has burned out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day your life will flash before your eyes.
