To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew that if I ever got here and got an opportunity, that I would be able to stick around ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32655]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew that if I ever got here and got an opportunity, that I would be able to stick around and make an impression.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few personsnearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Integrity is not a conditional word.

And what He does is to come to each soul partaking in the Sacrament and to assure it that He stands to the best and biggest of His promises and to the fullness of His grace in Christ... de-universalizes the Scriptures and individualizes them, makes them a personal promise, couched no longer in general terms but offered to very you and very me, as individually as if they covered no other but referred to you and me alone. We may be cold and dead and unresponsive. None the less, something happens in the Sacrament. For God stands to His side of the Covenant, whether we stand to ours or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just to make certain that I wasn't missing anything, as we see a lot of people running around talking about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just to make certain that I wasn't missing anything, as we see a lot of people running around talking about the basis for all these values, I went back and reread the New Testament the other day, from one side to the other, and make certain that I hadn't missed anything.

In the three years of Jesus Christ's mission, of his ministry, there is no mention whatsoever — or even a hint — that you ought to be taking health care or educational opportunity away from children in order to give to the richest people in the world.
