Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who carries a cat by the tail is getting experience that will always be helpful.

I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But because the victims die gradually from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, HIV, and from drug and alcohol ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33211]]></link><description><![CDATA[But because the victims die gradually from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, HIV, and from drug and alcohol abuse, the public are generally unaware of the scale of the fatalities,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They gave me an opportunity to play.
