"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26328]]></link><description><![CDATA[While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prision, I am not free. -Eugene V Debs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who does the best that circumstance allows, Does well, acts nobly, angels could no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who does the best that circumstance allows, Does well, acts nobly, angels could no more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of the superior man is truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1449]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of the superior man is truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women need a reason to have sex.

A man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive;" or because he is cruel. Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture -- in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whilst that the childe is young, let him be instructed in vertue and lytterature.   - John Lyly (Lylie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whilst that the childe is young, let him be instructed in vertue and lytterature.   - John Lyly (Lylie or Lyllie),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If what Holtzman decides to do is run against Republicans, it could hurt other Republicans.

The Christian's faith in Christ is trust in a Living Person, once crucified, dead, and buried, and now living forevermore. Call it, if you will, an assumption that ends as an assurance, or an experiment that ends as an experience, Christian faith is in fact a commitment that ends as a communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Respectable Professors of the Dismal Science. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Respectable Professors of the Dismal Science.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was really fun.
