Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself.

Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute.
