His existence is both objectively and subjectively evident. It is necessary logically because our assumption of order, design, and rationality rests upon it. It is necessary morally because there is no explanation for the shape of morality apart from it. It is necessary emotionally because the human experience requires an immediate and ultimate environment. It is necessary personally because the exhaustion of all material possibilities still cannot give satisfaction to the heart. The deepest proof for God's existence, apart from history, is just life itself. God has created man in his image, and men cannot elude the implications of this fact. Everywhere their identity pursues them. Ultimately, there is no escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety. -King Henry IV.

But thus much may we learn from these heathens, that if the dead, and we, be not upon one floor, nor under one story, yet we are under one roof. We think not a friend lost, because he has gone into another room, nor because he has gone into another land: and into another world, no man has gone; for that Heaven, which God created, and this world, is all one world... I spend none of my faith, I exercise none of my hope, in this, that I shall have my dead raised to life again. This is the faith that sustains me, when I lose by the death of others, or when I suffer by living in misery myself: that the dead and we are now all in one Church, and at the resurrection, shall be all in one Choir.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54595]]></link><description><![CDATA[E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is only one half good manners and the other half good lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is only one half good manners and the other half good lying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139]]></link><description><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you woke up breathing, congratulations!
