It is not enough to express formal belief in the "Incarnation" or in the "Divinity of. Christ"; the staggering truth must be accepted afresh -- that in this vast, mysterious universe, of which we are an almost infinitesimal part, the great Mystery, Whom we call God, has visited our planet in Person. It is from this conviction that there springs unconquerable certainty and unquenchable faith and hope. It is not enough to believe theoretically that Jesus was both God and Man; not enough to admire, respect, and even worship Him; it is not even enough to try to follow Him. The reason for the insufficiency of these things is that the modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central Fact -- that, as a sober matter of history, God became one of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I 'll purge, and leave sack, and live cleanly. -King Henry IV.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1680]]></link><description><![CDATA[To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the nose of Cleopatra had been shorter, the whole face of the earth would have been changed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20872]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the nose of Cleopatra had been shorter, the whole face of the earth would have been changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose.
