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[Sweet to the father is his first-born's birth! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet to the father is his first-born's birth!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They had a clear idea about what I really wanted to see, based on our initial conversations, and they did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33323]]></link><description><![CDATA[They had a clear idea about what I really wanted to see, based on our initial conversations, and they did a great job.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His voice was intimate as the rustle of sheets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60933]]></link><description><![CDATA[His voice was intimate as the rustle of sheets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your bounty is beyond my speaking; But though my mouth be dumb, my heart shall thank you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your bounty is beyond my speaking; But though my mouth be dumb, my heart shall thank you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this respect, I have called before these attacks for halting these operations so that people will not believe the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36214]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this respect, I have called before these attacks for halting these operations so that people will not believe the attacks are aimed at preventing them from participating in the referendum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vision looks inward and becomes duty.Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration.Vision looks upward and becomes faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vision looks inward and becomes duty.Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration.Vision looks upward and becomes faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are words Which even a babe may understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flowers are words Which even a babe may understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is the tyrant of the imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is the tyrant of the imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I regard psychiatry as fifty percent bunk, thirty percent fraud, ten percent parrot talk, and the remaining ten percent just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I regard psychiatry as fifty percent bunk, thirty percent fraud, ten percent parrot talk, and the remaining ten percent just a fancy lingo for the common sense we have had for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years, if we ever had the guts to read i]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[He said] that it was a great delusion to think that the times of prayer ought to differ from other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7634]]></link><description><![CDATA[[He said] that it was a great delusion to think that the times of prayer ought to differ from other times;

That his view of prayer was nothing else but a sense of the Presence of God, his soul being at that time insensible to everything but Divine Love; and that when the appointed times of prayer were past, he found no difference, because he still continued with God, praising and blessing Him with all his might, so that he passed his life in continual joy; yet hoped that God would give him somewhat to suffer when he should have grown stronger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To become a thoroughly good man is the best prescription for keeping a sound mind and a sound body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1302]]></link><description><![CDATA[To become a thoroughly good man is the best prescription for keeping a sound mind and a sound body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heav'd on Olympus tottering Ossa stood; On Ossa, Pelion nods with all his wood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heav'd on Olympus tottering Ossa stood; On Ossa, Pelion nods with all his wood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try and fail, but don't fail to try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try and fail, but don't fail to try.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23783]]></link><description><![CDATA[My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  Finally, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  Finally, what do we mean by the word "true"? How do we distinguish real Truth from human notions and ideas and opinions and doctrines? We are compelled to say that the word "true" means "grounded in reality, based on the real nature of things, on the basic facts which underlie the universe." Hence, if people say -- as many have said -- that the moral ideals set out in the gospels are high and noble ideals, and express admiration for the moral character of Jesus, and stop there, not daring to affirm more than that, the answer they are giving to the Question, "Is the Gospel true?", is No.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why are you always on the verge of goodbye, before I'll show you how I really feel inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why are you always on the verge of goodbye, before I'll show you how I really feel inside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was pleased with representation on the committee.

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the Ward area in general, if you can't find a parking spot in the parking area for the center, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37662]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the Ward area in general, if you can't find a parking spot in the parking area for the center, you're gonna be walking a long way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chocolate, men, coffee - some things are better rich ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chocolate, men, coffee - some things are better rich]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fond man! though all the heroes of your line Bedeck your halls, and round your galleries shine  In proud ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fond man! though all the heroes of your line Bedeck your halls, and round your galleries shine  In proud display; yet take this truth from me--   Virtue alone is true nobility!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44578</guid></item></channel></rss>
