Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Christians are ever to be united, they must be united in Christ, their living head and the source of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6517]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Christians are ever to be united, they must be united in Christ, their living head and the source of their spiritual life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baloo, baloo, my wee, wee thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother would say it is literally ghost writerswho come to me(Tan is the author of what became The Joy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58756]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother would say it is literally ghost writerswho come to me(Tan is the author of what became The Joy Luck Club).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18076]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As seniors, we've been through two coaches.

All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rugged trees are mingling Their flowery sprays in love;  The ivy climbs the laurel   To clasp ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23107]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rugged trees are mingling Their flowery sprays in love;  The ivy climbs the laurel   To clasp the boughs above.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talking payes no toll. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talking payes no toll.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is the mother of foresight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is the mother of foresight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63462]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll just have to wait until October for that to happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30604]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll just have to wait until October for that to happen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is becoming impossible for those who mix with their fellow men to believe that the grace of God is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7472]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is becoming impossible for those who mix with their fellow men to believe that the grace of God is distributed denominationally.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, our feeling of His presence, is altogether accidental and secondary.
