Therefore salvation is linked with faith, which earns nothing but elicits all, like the touch that evokes electricity but which no man supposes to have made it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The following year will certainly be looked at as a transition period. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The following year will certainly be looked at as a transition period.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17731]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   This matter of "salvation" is, when seen intuitively, a very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   This matter of "salvation" is, when seen intuitively, a very simple thing. But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The President of today is just the postage stamp of tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35938]]></link><description><![CDATA[The President of today is just the postage stamp of tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the hexameter rises the fountain's silvery column: In the pentameter aye falling in melody back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46750]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the hexameter rises the fountain's silvery column: In the pentameter aye falling in melody back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctors gave her over--to an ass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50166]]></link><description><![CDATA[The doctors gave her over--to an ass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the writers and producers around us that gave us the environment where we could play.
