The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wasn't long before people discovered the final horrors of letting an urchin into Parliament. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45543]]></link><description><![CDATA[It wasn't long before people discovered the final horrors of letting an urchin into Parliament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As if thou e'er wert angry But with thy tailor! and yet that poor shred  Can bring more to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58567]]></link><description><![CDATA[As if thou e'er wert angry But with thy tailor! and yet that poor shred  Can bring more to the making up of a man,   Than can be hoped from thee; thou art his creature;    And did he not, each morning, new create thee,     Thou'dst stink and be forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18754]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every artist writes his own autobiography. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every artist writes his own autobiography.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude.

Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26890]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every single soul is a poem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every single soul is a poem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think in the morning.
