And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exagerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diamonds are forever.

If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inter-group contact and positive relationships across the generations seem to be an important mechanism for combating ageist stereotypes, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inter-group contact and positive relationships across the generations seem to be an important mechanism for combating ageist stereotypes,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look at us, said the violets blooming at her feet, all last winter we slept in the seeming death but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look at us, said the violets blooming at her feet, all last winter we slept in the seeming death but at the right time God awakened us, and here we are to comfort you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is that little darkroom where negatives aredeveloped. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is that little darkroom where negatives aredeveloped.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From a distance it is something; and nearby it is nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44652]]></link><description><![CDATA[From a distance it is something; and nearby it is nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did thrust (as now) in other's corn his sickle.   - Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did thrust (as now) in other's corn his sickle.   - Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is innate in beauty, and haughtiness is the companion of the fair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is innate in beauty, and haughtiness is the companion of the fair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5975]]></link><description><![CDATA[A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God of pity and love, return to this earth.

Come with the day, Come with the light, that men may see once more Across this earth's uncomfortable floor The kindly paths, the old and loving way. Let us not die of evil in the night.

It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life.
