With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living from hand to mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Living from hand to mouth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it first happened, I thought about losing [a shot at] the NBA.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you get home at 9 p.m. and you try to call your broker, is he going to be there? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42135]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you get home at 9 p.m. and you try to call your broker, is he going to be there?
