Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years.

Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us. We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship needs no words—it is a loneliness relieved of the anguish of loneliness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship needs no words—it is a loneliness relieved of the anguish of loneliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  We must never speak to simple, excitable people about "the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  We must never speak to simple, excitable people about "the Day" without emphasizing again and again the utter impossibility of prediction. We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone.
