And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A house is a machine for living in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19645]]></link><description><![CDATA[A house is a machine for living in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point of cities is multiplicity of choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63993]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point of cities is multiplicity of choice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61965]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O sweet September, they first breezes bring the dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's laughter, the cool fresh air whence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35618]]></link><description><![CDATA[O sweet September, they first breezes bring the dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's laughter, the cool fresh air whence health and vigor spring and promise of exceeding joy hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe women have played major roles, both tangible or intangible, in the imperial family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34521]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe women have played major roles, both tangible or intangible, in the imperial family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I take it that what all men are really after is some form of, perhaps only some formula of, peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45979]]></link><description><![CDATA[I take it that what all men are really after is some form of, perhaps only some formula of, peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel.
