A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apt Alliteration's artful aid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Apt Alliteration's artful aid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you shouldbe-because sooner or later, if you're posing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you shouldbe-because sooner or later, if you're posing, you will forget the pose andthen where are you?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God enters by a private door into every individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17716]]></link><description><![CDATA[God enters by a private door into every individual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man value at a little price A virtuous woman's counsel; her wing'd spirit  Is feather'd oftentimes with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man value at a little price A virtuous woman's counsel; her wing'd spirit  Is feather'd oftentimes with heavenly words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most vegetarians look so much like the food they eat that they can be classified as cannibals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most vegetarians look so much like the food they eat that they can be classified as cannibals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is base to filch a purse, daring to embezzle a million, but it is great beyond measure to steal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18498]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is base to filch a purse, daring to embezzle a million, but it is great beyond measure to steal a crown.

His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. -.Dr.Karl Menninger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. -.Dr.Karl Menninger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grim-visaged, comfortless despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grim-visaged, comfortless despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is generally the best vindication against slander. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never go to bed mad.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get dealt a set of cards in life, and just deal with them........no problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get dealt a set of cards in life, and just deal with them........no problem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45684]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole sport is odd, but within the sport it's even an odd kind of race because of the fact ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33772]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole sport is odd, but within the sport it's even an odd kind of race because of the fact that it seems so difficult.
