And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To understand is to perceive patterns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2038]]></link><description><![CDATA[To understand is to perceive patterns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you completely trust a person without any doubt, you'll automatically get one of two results - a person for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62957]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you completely trust a person without any doubt, you'll automatically get one of two results - a person for life or a lesson for life!!!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just before consumers stop doing something, they do it with a vengeance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just before consumers stop doing something, they do it with a vengeance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58055]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is a living thing that lasts only as long as it is nourished with kindness, empathy and understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is a living thing that lasts only as long as it is nourished with kindness, empathy and understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44419]]></link><description><![CDATA[New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must be the change we wish to see in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21094]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must be the change we wish to see in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a wedding-song all-melting Sings the nightingale, the dear one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a wedding-song all-melting Sings the nightingale, the dear one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In any closet, you can find it, if it is too small, or out of style, or there is just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27768]]></link><description><![CDATA[In any closet, you can find it, if it is too small, or out of style, or there is just one of it where there should be two.
