It's only natural that they gain weight if they eat the same amount of food as they did when they were young. They need to know that their basal metabolic rate decreases with age.

Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate to see things done by halves.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48660]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43624]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to learn a lot from this.
