This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humore is an affirmation of man's dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humore is an affirmation of man's dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25375]]></link><description><![CDATA[The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more I train the more I realize I have more speed in me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57567]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more I train the more I realize I have more speed in me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/879]]></link><description><![CDATA[My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no way Maine?s working families can afford this rate hike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40279]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no way Maine?s working families can afford this rate hike.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8356]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself.
