We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is ten, nine of which is dressing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is ten, nine of which is dressing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I court not the votes of the fickle mob. [Lat., Non ego ventosae plebis suffragia venor.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61006]]></link><description><![CDATA[I court not the votes of the fickle mob. [Lat., Non ego ventosae plebis suffragia venor.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From listening comes wisdom, and from speaking repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25176]]></link><description><![CDATA[From listening comes wisdom, and from speaking repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit.

Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61022]]></link><description><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It really hasn't settled in yet that it's almost over.

Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item></channel></rss>
