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[A physician is nothing but a consoler of the mind. [Lat., Medicus nihil aliud est quam animi consolatio.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26704]]></link><description><![CDATA[A physician is nothing but a consoler of the mind. [Lat., Medicus nihil aliud est quam animi consolatio.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our society is set up so that most women lose their identities when their husbands die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our society is set up so that most women lose their identities when their husbands die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would of course speak with any interested shareholder of relevant thoughts and perspectives.
