What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?... I will not pronounce anything concerning the impossibility of a death-bed repentance, but I am sure that it is very difficult, and, I believe, very rare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   This matter of "salvation" is, when seen intuitively, a very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   This matter of "salvation" is, when seen intuitively, a very simple thing. But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25347]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One is not born a woman, one becomes one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61930]]></link><description><![CDATA[One is not born a woman, one becomes one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This represents a milestone for medical research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33055]]></link><description><![CDATA[This represents a milestone for medical research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Krishnamurti. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18963]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Krishnamurti.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Caesarism is democracy without liberty. [Fr., Le Cesarisme, c'est la democratie sans la liberte.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Caesarism is democracy without liberty. [Fr., Le Cesarisme, c'est la democratie sans la liberte.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live peaceably with all breedes good blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50009]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live peaceably with all breedes good blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was something deep down inside I wanted to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37957]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was something deep down inside I wanted to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58945]]></link><description><![CDATA[What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These figures come at a difficult time, with regional and local newspapers subject to the same market forces as other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41240]]></link><description><![CDATA[These figures come at a difficult time, with regional and local newspapers subject to the same market forces as other consumer products and media.

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first Epistle (to the Thessalonians) was written about a year after St. Paul's preaching in the city where, according ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7978]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first Epistle (to the Thessalonians) was written about a year after St. Paul's preaching in the city where, according to Prof. [William] Ramsay's calculation, he had laboured for only five months. Thus his stay had not been long enough for him to do more than teach the fundamental truths which seemed to him of the first importance: all the circumstances of his visit were still fresh in his memory and he was recalling to the minds of his readers what he had taught them by word of mouth. Now in that Epistle we get an extraordinarily clear and coherent account of simple mission-preaching not only implied but definitely expressed. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13833]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Outward beauty is not enough; to be attractive a woman must use words, wit, playfulness, sweet-talk, and laughter to transcend ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Outward beauty is not enough; to be attractive a woman must use words, wit, playfulness, sweet-talk, and laughter to transcend the gifts of Nature]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If dirt was trumps, what hands you would hold! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8857]]></link><description><![CDATA[If dirt was trumps, what hands you would hold!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a big rival.
