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[I had a terrible education.

Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63412]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My plenteous joys, Wanton in fullness, seek to hide themselves  In drops of sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23437]]></link><description><![CDATA[My plenteous joys, Wanton in fullness, seek to hide themselves  In drops of sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see difficulties in India overtaking China.
