There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66875]]></link><description><![CDATA[The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For God's sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings!  How ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54514]]></link><description><![CDATA[For God's sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings!  How some have been deposed, some slain in war,   Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,    Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed--     All murdered; for within the hollow crown      That rounds the mortal temples of a king       Keeps Death his court; and there the antic sits,        Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp;         Allowing him a breath, a little scene,          To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks;           Infusing him with self and vain conceit,            As if this flesh which walls about our life             Were brass impregnable; and humored thus,              Comes at the last, and with a little pin               Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!                Cover your heads, and mock not flesh and blood                 With solemn reverence, Throw away respect,                  Tradition, form, and ceremonious duty;                   For you have but mistook me all this while.                    I live with bread like you, feel want, taste grief,                     Need friends.

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is man that makes truth great, not truth that makes man great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59893]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is man that makes truth great, not truth that makes man great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis a glorious charter, deny it who can, That's breathed in the words, "I'm an Englishman." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13917]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis a glorious charter, deny it who can, That's breathed in the words, "I'm an Englishman."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I cannot overwhelm with my quality, I will overwhelm with my quantity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52677]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I cannot overwhelm with my quality, I will overwhelm with my quantity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dispel the cold, bounteously replenishing the hearth with logs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dispel the cold, bounteously replenishing the hearth with logs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which has arisen recently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The roof is completely gone and there are some floors that are collapsing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34393]]></link><description><![CDATA[The roof is completely gone and there are some floors that are collapsing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That combination was something we wanted to hit last week (against West Craven).
