But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5084]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[QUEEN, n.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of these dancers are dancers who are on the verge of their careers, so to speak.

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[Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14566]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13118]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want.
