There is an intimacy between Chicago writers and the population of this city that I find really wonderful. It's warm and it's welcoming. It's a little like going to a Baptist church.

All the atrocious crimes committed in years of peace -- all that is spent in peace by the secret corruptions or by the thoughtless extravagances of nations -- are mere trifles compared with the gigantic evils which stalk over the world in a state of war.

This is the best outward prayer book you can have, as it will turn you to an inward book, and spirit of prayer in your heart, which is a continual longing desire of the heart after God, his divine life, and Holy Spirit. When, for the sake of this inward prayer, you retire at any time of the day, never begin till you know and feel, why and wherefore you are going to pray; and let this why and wherefore, form and direct everything that comes from you, whether it be in thought or in word.

The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All are unique films that you will not likely see anywhere else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39225]]></link><description><![CDATA[All are unique films that you will not likely see anywhere else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A penny saved is two pence clear, A pin a day's a groat a year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13334]]></link><description><![CDATA[A penny saved is two pence clear, A pin a day's a groat a year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall escape the uphill by never turning back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46165]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall escape the uphill by never turning back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must learn to forgive himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53273]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must learn to forgive himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Arab, by his earnest gaze, Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes;  A smile within his eyelids plays ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4369]]></link><description><![CDATA[An Arab, by his earnest gaze, Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes;  A smile within his eyelids plays   And into words his longing gushes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Pistol:) And tidings do I bring and lucky joys And golden times and happy news of price.  (Falstaff:) I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44471]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Pistol:) And tidings do I bring and lucky joys And golden times and happy news of price.  (Falstaff:) I pray thee now, deliver them like a man of this world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when he (man) shall have been taken from sight, he quickly goes also out of mind. [Lat., Cum autem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/146]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when he (man) shall have been taken from sight, he quickly goes also out of mind. [Lat., Cum autem sublatus fuerit ab oculis, etiam cito transit a mente.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/146</guid></item></channel></rss>
