Its complete bondage to nature has enclosed the mind and spirit of man in a fast prison out of which, try as he may, he can find no way of escape. The inability to perceive any longer the reality of things invisible and unseen is a sickness of the soul which cries out to be cured. The only way to dispel the darkness of the present age and liberate it from the prison within which it has become bound is to restore the proper relationship of nature to supernature and of time to eternity as an essential feature of external reality. Until this can be accomplished, there is really very little that the Church or Christianity in general has to offer to this age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21172]]></link><description><![CDATA[My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long.

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535   We sometimes come to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535   We sometimes come to God, not because we love Him best, but because we love our possessions best; we ask Christ to "save Western civilization", without asking ourselves whether it is entirely a civilization that Christ could want to save. We pray, too often, not to do God's will, but to enlist God's assistance in maintaining our "continually increasing consumption". And yet, though Christ promised that God would feed us, he never promised that God would stuff us to bursting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many have screwed the truth, but fewhave called her the next day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many have screwed the truth, but fewhave called her the next day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Set a beggar on horseback, and he will ride a gallop. [Set a beggar on horseback, and he'll outride the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set a beggar on horseback, and he will ride a gallop. [Set a beggar on horseback, and he'll outride the Devil.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n nature warm; The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3182]]></link><description><![CDATA[The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n nature warm; The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time, Americans will have under one roof the capacity for government to work together.
