The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the time of year it always happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39775]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the time of year it always happens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[J.P. has a great upside.

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don\'t have to give birth to someone to have a family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66740]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don\'t have to give birth to someone to have a family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417   If afore us were laid together all the pains in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6382]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417   If afore us were laid together all the pains in Hell... and in Earth -- death and the rest -- and by itself, sin, we would rather choose all that pain than sin.
