Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326    If I now want to add something of my own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326    If I now want to add something of my own (i.e., inner assurances) to this faith, if this great and glorious faith is defective and saves me not till I can add my own sense and my own feeling to it at such a time or place, is not this saying in the plainest manner that faith alone cannot justify me? ... All I would say of these inward delights and enjoyments is this: they are not holiness, they are not piety, they are not perfection, but they are God's gracious allurements and calls to seek after holiness and spiritual perfection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I fear those big words which make us so unhappy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65570]]></link><description><![CDATA[I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great souls endure in silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great souls endure in silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25394]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951  One can give without loving, but one cannot love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951  One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tart temper never mellows with age; and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58861]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tart temper never mellows with age; and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're hoping he's still alive.

What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste. [Ger., Es ist nichts furchterlicher als Einbildungskraft ohne Geschmack.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20519]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste. [Ger., Es ist nichts furchterlicher als Einbildungskraft ohne Geschmack.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't get mad, get even. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't get mad, get even.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You could compile the worst book in the world entirely out of selected passages from the best writes in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52883]]></link><description><![CDATA[You could compile the worst book in the world entirely out of selected passages from the best writes in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main thing is you just want to stay out of everybody's way, just don't want to interrupt anything.
