We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8499]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage.

If the universe were a mere chaos of chances, or if it were a result of absolute necessity, there would be no place for intelligent prayer; but if it is under the control of a Lawgiver, wise and merciful, not a mere manager of material machinery, but a true Father of all, then we can come to such a Being with our requests -- not in the belief that we change His great plans, nor that any advantage could result from this if it were possible, but that these plans may be made in his boundless wisdom and love to meet our necessities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The holy time is quiet as a Nun Breathless with adoration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14266]]></link><description><![CDATA[The holy time is quiet as a Nun Breathless with adoration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're naturally kind you attract a lot of people you don't like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51990]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're naturally kind you attract a lot of people you don't like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5044]]></link><description><![CDATA[In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[once to get my meaning down, once to put in anything I have left out, once to take out anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41535]]></link><description><![CDATA[once to get my meaning down, once to put in anything I have left out, once to take out anything that seems unnecessary, and once to make the whole thing sound as if I have only just thought of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
