Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26742]]></link><description><![CDATA[The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2240]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say.

Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism... To your knees, man! and to your Bible! Decide at once! Don't hedge!

But that would have been to Him just the one dreadful thing. That His Father should forget him! -- no power in Himself could make up for that. He feared nothing for Himself; and never once employed His divine power to save Himself from His human fate. Let God do that for Him if He saw fit. He did not come into the world to take care of Himself... His life was of no value to Him but as His Father cared for it. God would mind all that was necessary for Him, and He would mind the work His Father had given Him to do. And, my friends, this is just the one secret of a blessed life, the one thing every man comes into this world to learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What silly people wits are! [Lat., Que les gens d'esprit sont betes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61807]]></link><description><![CDATA[What silly people wits are! [Lat., Que les gens d'esprit sont betes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He confesses his guilt who flies from his trial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50550]]></link><description><![CDATA[He confesses his guilt who flies from his trial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O lovers!

And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good; try to use ordinary situations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good; try to use ordinary situations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The new Bali attacks after the London attacks show the resiliency of terrorists to strike targets when our guard is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35864]]></link><description><![CDATA[The new Bali attacks after the London attacks show the resiliency of terrorists to strike targets when our guard is down,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were absolutely aiming to capture that Sun Studio sound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38520]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were absolutely aiming to capture that Sun Studio sound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People's Democratic Party, which is a coalition partner in the state with Congress, has been issuing such statements and Gandhi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34852]]></link><description><![CDATA[People's Democratic Party, which is a coalition partner in the state with Congress, has been issuing such statements and Gandhi must take strong notice of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989it's that the area experiencing intense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30387]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989it's that the area experiencing intense shaking was much, much greater.
