The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her voice, the music of the spheres, So loud, it deafens mortals' ears;  As wise philosophers have thought,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her voice, the music of the spheres, So loud, it deafens mortals' ears;  As wise philosophers have thought,   And that's the cause we hear it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/676]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we were not in Vietnam, all that part of the world would be enjoying the obscurity it so richly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60639]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we were not in Vietnam, all that part of the world would be enjoying the obscurity it so richly deserves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played a tough team tonight.

They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold a true friend with both hands. - Kanuri proverb, Nigeria ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold a true friend with both hands. - Kanuri proverb, Nigeria]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then westward ho! Grace and good disposition attend your ladyship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then westward ho! Grace and good disposition attend your ladyship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the Thickest pizza on earth will be delivered cold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39650]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the Thickest pizza on earth will be delivered cold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64141]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Japanese economy is turning around, as evidenced by the machine tool orders.
