We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are one community even though we are separate towns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42003]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are one community even though we are separate towns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live together like brothers, and do business like strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live together like brothers, and do business like strangers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has both feet planted firmly in the air can be safely called a liberal as opposed to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24655]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has both feet planted firmly in the air can be safely called a liberal as opposed to the conservative, who has both feet firmly planted in his mouth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it.

You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself.
