The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17711]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in a battle for our lives for things that really matter to us.
