For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is one, but he has innumerable forms.

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[Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grant to us, O Lord, to know that which is worth knowing, to love that which is worth loving, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grant to us, O Lord, to know that which is worth knowing, to love that which is worth loving, to praise that which pleaseth Thee most, to esteem that which is most precious unto Thee, and to dislike whatsoever is evil in Thins eyes.

But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6095]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53926]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24511</guid></item></channel></rss>
