But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18688]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Satan now is wiser than of yore, And tempts by making rich, not making poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58902]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Satan now is wiser than of yore, And tempts by making rich, not making poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many (companies) in fact believe that (employees) are less effective in their jobs when 'dressed down', ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many (companies) in fact believe that (employees) are less effective in their jobs when 'dressed down',]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Applause, mingled with boos and hisses, is about all that the average voter is able or willing to contribute to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Applause, mingled with boos and hisses, is about all that the average voter is able or willing to contribute to public life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11149]]></link><description><![CDATA[If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down?

The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We burn daylight. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.
