Every pulse of love is a tendril that draws us in His direction. Every verification of truth links the finite mind up into a Foundational Mind that undergirds us. Every deed of good will points toward a consummate Goodness which fulfills all our tiny adventures in faith. We can find Him because in Him we live and move and have our being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our time is fixed, and all our days are number'd; How long, how short, we know not:--this we know,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our time is fixed, and all our days are number'd; How long, how short, we know not:--this we know,  Duty requires we calmly wait the summons,   Nor dare to stir till Heaven shall give permission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One use of prayer is to maintain in us a higher standard and prevent our principles insensibly sinking to our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7250]]></link><description><![CDATA[One use of prayer is to maintain in us a higher standard and prevent our principles insensibly sinking to our practice, or to the practice of the world around us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frankly it's going a lot faster than I had expected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Frankly it's going a lot faster than I had expected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19527]]></link><description><![CDATA[The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger, even when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to precede reason as its mistress, but attend as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger, even when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to precede reason as its mistress, but attend as a handmaid at the back of reason, to come to the front when bidden.
