To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hard work brings prosperity; playing around brings poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hard work brings prosperity; playing around brings poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Palm Sunday I had no God but these, The sacerdotal trees, And they uplifted me,  "I hung upon a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6543]]></link><description><![CDATA[Palm Sunday I had no God but these, The sacerdotal trees, And they uplifted me,  "I hung upon a Tree." The sun and moon I saw, And reverential awe Subdued me day and night,  "I am the perfect light." Within a lifeless stone -- All other gods unknown -- I sought Divinity,  "The Corner-stone am I." For sacrificial feast I slaughtered man and beast, Red recompense to gain.  "So I a Lamb was slain." "Yea, such My hungering Grace That whereso'er My face Is hidden, none may grope  Beyond eternal Hope.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Softly the loud peal dies, In passing winds it drowns,  But breathes, like perfect joys,   Tender tones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Softly the loud peal dies, In passing winds it drowns,  But breathes, like perfect joys,   Tender tones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trodden path is the safest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1118]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trodden path is the safest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47707]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The less we know the more we suspect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58427]]></link><description><![CDATA[The less we know the more we suspect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest crimes do not arise from a want of feeling for others but from an over-sensibility for ourselves and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10644]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest crimes do not arise from a want of feeling for others but from an over-sensibility for ourselves and an over-indulgence to our own desires]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That rigging slipped down underneath that horse as I came off and I was dragged once and a half times ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38092]]></link><description><![CDATA[That rigging slipped down underneath that horse as I came off and I was dragged once and a half times around the arena.

And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In their palate alone is their reason of existence. [Lat., In solo vivendi causa palata est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13216]]></link><description><![CDATA[In their palate alone is their reason of existence. [Lat., In solo vivendi causa palata est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wonder why prostitution is illegal ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48506]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wonder why prostitution is illegal]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should wait patiently until tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28841]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should wait patiently until tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death and taxes and childbirth!
