You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast damnable iteration, and art indeed able to corrupt a saint. -King Henry IV.

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can always draw as well as you know how to.

But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner  Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo  Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos  Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed  Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer  The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez  For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty  The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock  My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron  In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter  I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt  If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz  The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney  It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman  When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger  If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams  Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frederick Buechner,'Whistling in the Dark' When a child is born, a father is born.

A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks are, for better or for worse, indelible. All sons, like all daughters, are prodigals if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find something better than law to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose him and find themselves. Terrible blnders will be made-dissapointments and failures, hurts and losses of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every hard knock they ever get, knocks the father even harder still, if that's possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. -Fatherhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly a lot deeper.
