Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</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[The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1336]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A government of laws, and not of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17970]]></link><description><![CDATA[A government of laws, and not of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All green was vanished save of pine and yew, That still displayed their melancholy hue;  Save the green holly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19583]]></link><description><![CDATA[All green was vanished save of pine and yew, That still displayed their melancholy hue;  Save the green holly with its berries red,   And the green moss that o'er the gravel spread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it wasn't for faith, there would be no living in this world; we couldn't even eat hash with any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14985]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it wasn't for faith, there would be no living in this world; we couldn't even eat hash with any safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're young, and I'm getting older every game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38344]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're young, and I'm getting older every game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They mostly recruit distance runners.

We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard.

This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.
