We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65793]]></link><description><![CDATA[No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11935]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you\'re selling, storage or networking or security, you\'re going head to head with the incumbent players. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you\'re selling, storage or networking or security, you\'re going head to head with the incumbent players.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quotation...

A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read.

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It'd be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22854]]></link><description><![CDATA[It'd be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues  With a new colour as it gasps away,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues  With a new colour as it gasps away,   The last still loveliest, till--'tis gone--and all is gray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have only one eye,--I have a right to be blind sometimes . . .
