We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24752]]></link><description><![CDATA[The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Watergate showed more strengths in our system than weaknesses...
