Awe prepares the way in us for the power of God to transform us and this transformation of our inner attitudes can only take place when awe leads us in turn to wonder, admiration, reverence, surrender, and obedience toward God.  ...

There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66588]]></link><description><![CDATA[God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to overdo luxury ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26067]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to overdo luxury]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
