Faith says not, "I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it," but, "God sent it, and so it must be good for me." Faith, walking in the dark with God, only prays Him to clasp its hand more closely.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the desert a fountain is springing, In the wide waste there still is a tree,  And a bird ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58515]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the desert a fountain is springing, In the wide waste there still is a tree,  And a bird in the solitude singing,   Which speaks to my spirit of thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21874]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I figured, if they're going to do that, ...

He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not true that nice guys finish last.

Nothing else in the world demonstrates how real is God's love to the sinful, and how real the sin of the world is to God. And the love which comes to us through such an expression, bearing sin in all its reality, yet loving us through and beyond it, is the only love which at once forgives and regenerates the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nympholepsy of some fond despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12006]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nympholepsy of some fond despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12006</guid></item></channel></rss>
