If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old maids sweeten their tea with scandal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old maids sweeten their tea with scandal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blushed like the waves of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blushed like the waves of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People use not just personal computers, but telephones, televisions, wireless and other devices with this technology so that minutes will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42518]]></link><description><![CDATA[People use not just personal computers, but telephones, televisions, wireless and other devices with this technology so that minutes will migrate over time.

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 I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21899]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14810]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heroes as great have died, and yet shall fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heroes as great have died, and yet shall fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was adored once too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1620]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was adored once too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness hates the timid!
