In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first vertue, sone, if thou wilt lerne, Is to restreyne and kepen wel thy tonge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59479]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first vertue, sone, if thou wilt lerne, Is to restreyne and kepen wel thy tonge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He not only overflowed with learning, but stood in the slop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24555]]></link><description><![CDATA[He not only overflowed with learning, but stood in the slop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can remember walking as a child.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we."  "They ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23012]]></link><description><![CDATA[We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we."  "They hunt old trails" said Cyril, "very well;   But when did woman ever yet invent?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through life's dark road his sordid way he wends, An incarnation of fat dividends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through life's dark road his sordid way he wends, An incarnation of fat dividends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The church has magnificent buildings, superb equipment, trained leadership, excellent teaching materials, organizational ability, and yet lacks that one thing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6428]]></link><description><![CDATA[The church has magnificent buildings, superb equipment, trained leadership, excellent teaching materials, organizational ability, and yet lacks that one thing that could take all these tools and make them the channel of God's will.
