The heir of heaven, henceforth I fear not death: In Christ I live! in Christ I draw the breath Of the true life! -- let then earth, sea, and sky Make war against me! On my front I show Their mighty Master's seal. In vain they try To end my life, that can but end its woe. Is that a death-bed where a Christian lies? Yes, but not his -- 'tis Death itself there dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sean: My wife used to fart when she was nervous.

She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clothes make the man.

[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let yourself be open and life will be easier.
