Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Internet's been so great, and it's so nice to have fans do nice, elaborate websites, but I think the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9381]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Internet's been so great, and it's so nice to have fans do nice, elaborate websites, but I think the downside is some of the things... for real fans to go on and see that 90 percent of the information isn't true or to see pictures that aren't really me, or for them to be able to sell these things, that's one of the downsides, I think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pure friendship's well-feigned blush. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pure friendship's well-feigned blush.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13632]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He follows his father, but with shorter strides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51800]]></link><description><![CDATA[He follows his father, but with shorter strides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secret admirers make us believe things about ourselves that we always hoped were true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secret admirers make us believe things about ourselves that we always hoped were true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simply the thing I am shall make me live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simply the thing I am shall make me live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[who will shuffle when he's not going anywhere, scratch when he's not itching and grin when he's not tickled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33478]]></link><description><![CDATA[who will shuffle when he's not going anywhere, scratch when he's not itching and grin when he's not tickled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She that fails to command her thoughts will soon lose command of her actions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59151]]></link><description><![CDATA[She that fails to command her thoughts will soon lose command of her actions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He played a short while after it, but then it started swelling and it got really painful.

It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond?

This supposition rests upon a misunderstanding of what is meant by "the Kingdom of God"... The Kingdom itself is not something to be "furthered" or "built" by men's efforts. It is something which we are invited to recognize as already present, after a manner, in the life and work of Jesus. It is something to be inherited or entered into by those who believe. The task of the Church, in other words, is not to set the stage for a better world than this one but to draw the curtain from it, to reveal something that is already there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life really does begin at forty.
