Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23372]]></link><description><![CDATA[A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are always sincere.

Long periods of time may pass in which nothing seems to be happening. But we know that kind of space must be created if the mind is to leap out of its accustomed ruts, to part from the mechanical, the known, the familiar, the standard, and generate a leap into the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The place of justice is a hallowed place ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23611]]></link><description><![CDATA[The place of justice is a hallowed place]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The MCP1316 - MCP1322 voltage supervisors incorporate several attractive features on a single chip, resulting in enhanced design flexibility, reduced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The MCP1316 - MCP1322 voltage supervisors incorporate several attractive features on a single chip, resulting in enhanced design flexibility, reduced board space, and lower system costs.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44851]]></link><description><![CDATA[It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man's credit is as good as his money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10610]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man's credit is as good as his money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, that men's ears should be To counsel deaf, but not to flattery! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51370]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, that men's ears should be To counsel deaf, but not to flattery!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way out is always through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/532]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way out is always through.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I applaud the senator for her efforts, but they are ineffectual and too little.

And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerful at morn he wakes from short repose, Breathes the keen air, and carols as he goes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerful at morn he wakes from short repose, Breathes the keen air, and carols as he goes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wasn't so pretty, but it's a win and a guarantee of at least a share of the region championship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28189]]></link><description><![CDATA[It wasn't so pretty, but it's a win and a guarantee of at least a share of the region championship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44808]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[March: Its stone, Bloodstone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26369]]></link><description><![CDATA[March: Its stone, Bloodstone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The majority is never right.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development.
