And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And both were young, and one was beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62565]]></link><description><![CDATA[And both were young, and one was beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is pleasant, when the sea runs high, to view from land the great distress of another. [Lat., Suave mari ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42809]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is pleasant, when the sea runs high, to view from land the great distress of another. [Lat., Suave mari magno, turbantibus aequora ventis  E terra magnum alterius spectare laborum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many trails up the mountain, but in time they all reach the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23378]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many trails up the mountain, but in time they all reach the top.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60068]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did refuse it:   And he that brought it would not use it,    And he that hath it doth now know     Whether he hath it yea or no.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more blessed to give than to receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5743]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more blessed to give than to receive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Apella the Jew credit it, if he will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Apella the Jew credit it, if he will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that one of the qualifications of artists should be a vow of celibacy.

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth dreams a bliss on this side of death. It dreams a rest, if not more deep,  More grateful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth dreams a bliss on this side of death. It dreams a rest, if not more deep,  More grateful than this marble sleep;   It hears a voice within it tell:    Calm's not life's crown, though calm is well.     'Tis all perhaps which man acquires,      But 'tis not what our youth desires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62554</guid></item></channel></rss>
