We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientific progress consists in the development of new concepts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientific progress consists in the development of new concepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the hopes of men have been justly called waking dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19760]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the hopes of men have been justly called waking dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cowardly dog barks more violently than it bites. [Lat., Canis timidus vehementius latrat quam mordet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12668]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cowardly dog barks more violently than it bites. [Lat., Canis timidus vehementius latrat quam mordet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59173]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil beginning houres may end in good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil beginning houres may end in good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do your duty today and repent tomorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do your duty today and repent tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violence is as American as cherry pie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violence is as American as cherry pie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every vice is only an exaggeration of a necessary and virtuous function. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every vice is only an exaggeration of a necessary and virtuous function.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64750]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guys are lucky because they get to grow mustaches.
