In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48111]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is not absence death to those who love? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is not absence death to those who love?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What else is the meaning of our present chaos, of humanity in sorrow, but this: that contemporary man is tried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6694]]></link><description><![CDATA[What else is the meaning of our present chaos, of humanity in sorrow, but this: that contemporary man is tried before the bar of the Eternal, and found wanting? Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...

"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with Papua is: who has the legitimacy to negotiate on behalf of Papuans with the government? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33551]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with Papua is: who has the legitimacy to negotiate on behalf of Papuans with the government?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My illusions range from romance to rowdiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32273]]></link><description><![CDATA[My illusions range from romance to rowdiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I said to the sky-poised Lark: "Hark--hark!  Thy note is more loud and free   Because there lies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24099]]></link><description><![CDATA[I said to the sky-poised Lark: "Hark--hark!  Thy note is more loud and free   Because there lies safe for thee    A little nest on the ground."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show  I am not in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9612]]></link><description><![CDATA[These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show  I am not in the roll of common men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone started shooting, and they had their caribou.

Feelings are very delusive. They often depend on mere natural temperament, and the devil wrests them to our hurt. A glowing imagination is apt to seek itself rather than God.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to defend them.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt like we executed our offense pretty well in the first half and did just enough to keep the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38606]]></link><description><![CDATA[I felt like we executed our offense pretty well in the first half and did just enough to keep the lead comfortable in the second half.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During the many centuries that magic, here on this planet, was presumed to have worked, there were at least as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41201]]></link><description><![CDATA[During the many centuries that magic, here on this planet, was presumed to have worked, there were at least as many theories as to how magic worked as there were cultures and religions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45187]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got a problem.
