For no sooner is the finite desire of the creature in motion towards God, but the infinite desire of God is united with it, co-operates with it; and in this united desire of God and the creature is the salvation and life of the soul brought forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may delay, but time will not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48299]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may delay, but time will not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34973]]></link><description><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The Church] sees that human life must be lived in the quite fearless recognition of this insecurity of relationship between ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The Church] sees that human life must be lived in the quite fearless recognition of this insecurity of relationship between one man and another. Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to get boring before it gets exciting.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I started out by believing God for a newer car than the one I was driving.
