The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The major components of inflation for us are energy costs and housing costs and medical costs, and I don't see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34728]]></link><description><![CDATA[The major components of inflation for us are energy costs and housing costs and medical costs, and I don't see any major break in any of these.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man Still to remember wrongs? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man Still to remember wrongs?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Betwixt the devil and the deep sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6061]]></link><description><![CDATA[Betwixt the devil and the deep sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A married man turns his staffe into a stake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49060]]></link><description><![CDATA[A married man turns his staffe into a stake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57200]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to think there was light at the end of the tunnel, but for me today the light is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/591]]></link><description><![CDATA[I used to think there was light at the end of the tunnel, but for me today the light is on a locomotive headed right for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing begins, and nothing ends, That is not paid with moan; For we are born in others pain And perish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing begins, and nothing ends, That is not paid with moan; For we are born in others pain And perish in our own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the little guy, it's getting harder and harder to compete with the big boys. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42434]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the little guy, it's getting harder and harder to compete with the big boys.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is room left also for several to bring their friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50366]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is room left also for several to bring their friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's not quibble!
