And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's only as old as the woman he feels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63494]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's only as old as the woman he feels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43242]]></link><description><![CDATA[To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66194]]></link><description><![CDATA[However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dispel this cloud, the light of heaven restore; Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dispel this cloud, the light of heaven restore; Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. case is more important because of the economic implications, ...

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're playing okay but we haven't put 60 minutes together.

This losing of things is the mercy of God: it comes to teach us to let them go. Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth? I keep trying and trying to call it back, feeling a poor man until that thought be recovered -- to be far more lost, perhaps, in a notebook into which I shall never look again to find it! I forget that it is live things that God cares about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is born without faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50303]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is born without faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got into an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent.
