Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it's all said and done, this year may be even more gratifying than last year, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36091]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it's all said and done, this year may be even more gratifying than last year,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a freshman in high school, my drama teacher, an incredible, inspirational genius, the guy who got me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31160]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was a freshman in high school, my drama teacher, an incredible, inspirational genius, the guy who got me into acting, he encouraged me to get the lead in a musical.

For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is like walking in a deserted street.

Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's tough, it's an interesting little play -- part comedy, part serious.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never realize how much that meant when we had three or four guys on the wing.
