How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59828]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53178]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.

Faith says not, "I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it," but, "God sent it, and so it must be good for me." Faith, walking in the dark with God, only prays Him to clasp its hand more closely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a director who should make 'Silver Surfer' ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â he is mentally committed to it.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item></channel></rss>
