In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27681]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8812]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are my new shoes.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the best things are not equal to their fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the best things are not equal to their fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never was anything great achieved without danger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never was anything great achieved without danger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lauren has been waiting to click.
