We sadly undervalue prayer when we conceive it in these terms, just as we should underestimate rain by describing it as something that fills the birdbath in our garden. Properly understood, prayer is a mature activity indispensable to the fullest development of personality -- the ultimate integration of man's highest faculties. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strengths.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12726]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized - and never knowing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go West, young man!

We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62749]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Am I always to be a mere listener?

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63269</guid></item></channel></rss>
