But if our observer had the power and omniscience of the Lord, he would also feel and sense, pulsing through and vibrating from every one of us here below, a desperate and unending plea, "Notice me! I want to be known admired, and loved by the whole world!" And it is this, this glorious weakness, this dependence of ours on each other, that makes some of us usually heroes and fools at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I started out by believing God for a newer car than the one I was driving.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My glass is not large, but I drink from my glass. [Fr., Mon verre n'est pas grand, mais je bois ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62335]]></link><description><![CDATA[My glass is not large, but I drink from my glass. [Fr., Mon verre n'est pas grand, mais je bois dans mon verre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men are not slimy warthogs.
