The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment. [Lat., Res severa est verum gaudium.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13935]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment. [Lat., Res severa est verum gaudium.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When [he] kisses you he isn't doing anything else.

Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's CNN for security geeks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34183]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's CNN for security geeks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the Germans did not succeed in doing the damage you propose to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the Germans did not succeed in doing the damage you propose to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're passing through, and this is the one place they can learn about the state, about blues, civil rights, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41130]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're passing through, and this is the one place they can learn about the state, about blues, civil rights, the Civil War, cotton ... and also the history and significance of this National Historic Landmark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder rather than doubt is the root of knowledge]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is strucken blind cannot forget The precious treasure of his eyesight lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4343]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is strucken blind cannot forget The precious treasure of his eyesight lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I?m just tired.
