He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4075]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9502]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Look to the lilies how they grow!" 'Twas thus the Saviour said, that we,  Even in the simplest flowers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25088]]></link><description><![CDATA["Look to the lilies how they grow!" 'Twas thus the Saviour said, that we,  Even in the simplest flowers that blow,   God's ever-watchful care might see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1751]]></link><description><![CDATA[True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will yet be the proud boast of women that they never contributed a line to the Bible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53556]]></link><description><![CDATA[It will yet be the proud boast of women that they never contributed a line to the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My early and invincible love of reading, . . .

Consider Christ's proceeding with Peter in the ship, in the storm: First he suffered him to be in some danger in the storm, but then he visits him with that strong assurance, "Be not afraid, It is I": any testimony of his presence rectifies all. This puts Peter into that spiritual confidence and courage, "Lord bid me come to thee"; he hath a desire to be with Christ, but yet stays his bidding: he puts not himself into an unnecessary danger, without commandment: Christ bids him, and Peter comes: but yet, though Christ were in his sight, and even in the actual exercise of his love to him, so soon as he saw a gust, a storm, "He was afraid"; and Christ lets him fear, and lets him sink, and lets him cry, but he directs his fear and his cry to the right end: "Lord, save me"; and thereupon he stretched forth his hand and saved him...   God puts his children into good ways, and he directs and protects them in those ways; for this is the constancy and perseverence of the love of Jesus Christ to us, as he is called in this text (Matt. 21:44), a stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8211</guid></item></channel></rss>
