Those who are fascinated by the supposed superiority of the mystic soul might profitably compile a list of its characteristics and place them side by side with those of Christ. The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion. There is, in fact, no provision for a "privileged class" in genuine Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  You and I drift on through the years dully enough, because we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877  You and I drift on through the years dully enough, because we do not believe in God, not really, and so we have no expectation. But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a fantasy turns you on, you're obligated to God and nature to start doing it right away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15303]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a fantasy turns you on, you're obligated to God and nature to start doing it right away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a space between man's imagination and man's attainment that may only be traversed by his longing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20503]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a space between man's imagination and man's attainment that may only be traversed by his longing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three weeks into the NFL season, it's hard to say which team is the best in the business.
