To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24993]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. -Pericles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64503]]></link><description><![CDATA[When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52959]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes life worth living is the mutual enrichment of people through understanding, intelligence and affection.

It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as old age is creeping on space, And clouds come o'er the sunset of our day,  They kindly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as old age is creeping on space, And clouds come o'er the sunset of our day,  They kindly leave us, though not quite alone,   But in good company--the gout or stone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Satan now is wiser than of yore, And tempts by making rich, not making poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58902]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Satan now is wiser than of yore, And tempts by making rich, not making poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Damn right, it's fun.
