Is not your love what it is because He put it into your heart first? Have you not often been cross with them? Sometimes unjust to them? Whence came the returning love that rose from unknown depths in your being, and swept away the anger and the injustice? You did not create that love. Probably you were not good enough to send for it by prayer. But it came. God sent it. He makes you love your children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes on you. A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And feet like sunny gems on an English green. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15569]]></link><description><![CDATA[And feet like sunny gems on an English green.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never bolt your door with a boiled carrot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never bolt your door with a boiled carrot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can be born of nothing, nothing can be resolved into nothing. [Lat., Gigni  De nihilo nihil, in nihilum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can be born of nothing, nothing can be resolved into nothing. [Lat., Gigni  De nihilo nihil, in nihilum nil posse reverti.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When health, affrighted, spreads her rosy wing, And flies with every changing gale of spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18915]]></link><description><![CDATA[When health, affrighted, spreads her rosy wing, And flies with every changing gale of spring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For your born writer, nothing is so healing as the realization that he has come upon the right word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62410]]></link><description><![CDATA[For your born writer, nothing is so healing as the realization that he has come upon the right word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people are looking for an ear that will listen.

They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening. But he who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God, either; he will be doing nothing but prattle in the presence of God, too. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a mistake every man should make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a mistake every man should make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26438</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[Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing save the waves and I  May hear our mutual murmurs sweep; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing save the waves and I  May hear our mutual murmurs sweep;   There, swan-like, let me sing and die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want people to think that this was for nothing.

The Christian's faith in Christ is trust in a Living Person, once crucified, dead, and buried, and now living forevermore. Call it, if you will, an assumption that ends as an assurance, or an experiment that ends as an experience, Christian faith is in fact a commitment that ends as a communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues ofcommittees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22338]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues ofcommittees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the stage displays the first vigorous expression, as the natural thing and without conspicuous restraint, of private individuality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40475]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the stage displays the first vigorous expression, as the natural thing and without conspicuous restraint, of private individuality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is borne of failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is borne of failure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12692]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever became, or can become truly eloquent without being a reader of the Bible, and an admirer of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34929]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one ever became, or can become truly eloquent without being a reader of the Bible, and an admirer of the purity and sublimity of its language.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground.

Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty.
