It involves the concepts of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another places the truth of the case in dispute in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poem conveys not a message so much as the provenance of a message, an advent of sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65074]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poem conveys not a message so much as the provenance of a message, an advent of sense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46234]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bed comprehends our whole life, for we were born in it, we live in it, and we shall die ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bed comprehends our whole life, for we were born in it, we live in it, and we shall die in it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, there's quite a lot of concern about what's going on around the world.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The would-be wits and can't-be gentlemen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48766]]></link><description><![CDATA[The would-be wits and can't-be gentlemen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Traveler and His DogA Traveler about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the door ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1520]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Traveler and His DogA Traveler about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the door stretching himself.
