God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the hour to rend thy chains, the blossom time of souls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63343]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the hour to rend thy chains, the blossom time of souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just saying it will be one of the tallest buildings in Orlando.

Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we make our habits, then our habits make us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18512]]></link><description><![CDATA[First we make our habits, then our habits make us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has nothing to do with press now; it has become a political affair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29420]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has nothing to do with press now; it has become a political affair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is contemplation.

Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather lose in a cause that I know some day will triumph than to triumph in a cause ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11808]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather lose in a cause that I know some day will triumph than to triumph in a cause that I know some day will fail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46928]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm absolutely sure we're having people check it out that never would have gone to a 'Christian' movie.
