He was never for one moment of any day out of touch with God. He was speaking and listening to the Father all day long; and yet He, who was in such constant touch with God, felt the need, as well as the joy, of more prolonged and more quiet communion with Him... Most of the reasons that drive us to pray for strength and forgiveness could never have driven Him; and yet He needed prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.Live you life in a manner so that when you die ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11381]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.Live you life in a manner so that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a wonderful experience on the golf course today.

("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner. ("To know all is to forgive all.") No commonplace is more untrue. Behavior, whether conditioned by an individual neurosis or by society, can be understood, that is to say, one knows exactly why such and such an individual behaves as he does. But a personal action or deed is always mysterious. When we really act, precisely because it is a matter of free choice, we can never say exactly why we do this rather than that. But it is only deeds that we are required to forgive. If someone does me an injury, the question of forgiveness only arises if I am convinced (a) that the injury he did me was a free act on his part and therefore no less mysterious to him than to me, and (b) that it was me personally whom he meant to injure. Christ does not forgive the soldiers who are nailing him to the Cross; he asks the Father to forgive them. He knows as well as they do why they are doing this -- they are a squad, detailed to execute a criminal. They do not know what they are doing, because it is not their business, as executioners, to know whom they are crucifying. If the person who does me an injury does not know what he is doing, then it is as ridiculous for me to talk about forgiving him as it would be for me to "forgive" a tile which falls on my head in a gale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a sickness full of woes,    All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a sickness full of woes,    All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows,    Most barren with best using.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It didn't dawn on me that we were older/elderly women.

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet spirit immortal, the tomb cannot bind thee, But like thine own eagle that soars to the sun  Thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet spirit immortal, the tomb cannot bind thee, But like thine own eagle that soars to the sun  Thou springest from bondage and leavest behind thee   A name which before thee no mortal hath won.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mediocre teacher tells.
