It is in proportion, as we are known to him that we find our real being and identity in Christ. We know him in and through ourselves in so far as his truth is the source of our being and his merciful love is the very heart of our life and existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy: In which you say what you like and do what you're told. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy: In which you say what you like and do what you're told.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beyond terrorism, this was the one event I was most concerned with always. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beyond terrorism, this was the one event I was most concerned with always.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man knows his follies and often they are the most interesting thing he has got. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man knows his follies and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm nothing more than what you actually see, but I am also the complete opposite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39917]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm nothing more than what you actually see, but I am also the complete opposite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't affected by inflation -- I had nothing to inflate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20838]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn't affected by inflation -- I had nothing to inflate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, loves the unlovable. But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All good fortune is a gift of the gods, and. . . you don't win the favor of the ancient ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15487]]></link><description><![CDATA[All good fortune is a gift of the gods, and. . . you don't win the favor of the ancient gods by being good, but by being bold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh what people of God we ought to be; and grace can make us so! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh what people of God we ought to be; and grace can make us so!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ageism is the most pervasive form of prejudice experienced in the UK population and that seems to be true pretty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ageism is the most pervasive form of prejudice experienced in the UK population and that seems to be true pretty much across gender, ethnicity and religion -- people of all types experience it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13435]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sleep, riches, and health, to be truly enjoyed, must be interrupted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sleep, riches, and health, to be truly enjoyed, must be interrupted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is jealous is not in love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66650]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is jealous is not in love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, they would have showered a hundred blessings on me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some mystery should be left in the revelation of character in a play, just as a great deal of mystery ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some mystery should be left in the revelation of character in a play, just as a great deal of mystery is always left in the revelation of character in life, even in one's own character to himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welcome! all Wonders in one sight!
