And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's tough to get a feeling for a team this early in the year but I'm not going to complain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37359]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's tough to get a feeling for a team this early in the year but I'm not going to complain about being 2-0.

Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize.
