To afford sympathetic entertainment to abstract ideas, to let one idea beget another, and that another, till the mind teems with them; to compare one idea with others, to weigh, to consider, evaluate, approve, respect, correct, refine; to join thought with thought like an architect till a whole edifice has been created within the mind; to travel back in imagination to the beginning of the creation and then to leap swiftly forward to the end of time; to bound upward through illimitable space and downward into the nucleus of an atom; and all this without so much as moving from our chair or opening the eyes--this is to soar above all the lower creation and come near to the angels of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's unethical to take money for poor quality performance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43136]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's unethical to take money for poor quality performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  The primary object of prayer is to know God better; we and our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  The primary object of prayer is to know God better; we and our needs should come second.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Few have defined what free will is, although ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Few have defined what free will is, although it repeatedly occurs in the writings of all. Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last of our enemies is laid low ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32002]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last of our enemies is laid low]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And hold up to the sun my little taper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3520]]></link><description><![CDATA[And hold up to the sun my little taper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's really a focal point for us that our scores are going up -- we're closing that gap, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36888]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's really a focal point for us that our scores are going up -- we're closing that gap,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely the stars are images of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely the stars are images of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advanced data services activity in the U.K. is following the classic pattern of adoption -- first gaining traction within the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advanced data services activity in the U.K. is following the classic pattern of adoption -- first gaining traction within the technologically savviest group and then spreading across the rest of the majority.

Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you want in life has a price connected to it.
