Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fire i' the flint Shows not till it be struck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51368]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fire i' the flint Shows not till it be struck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to help them in any way we can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31502]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're going to help them in any way we can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We worked well together.

The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3242]]></link><description><![CDATA[An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When chickens quit quarrelling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them.
