That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that which he laughs at, than that which he approves ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24180]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that which he laughs at, than that which he approves and reveres. [Lat., Discit enim citius, meminitque libentius ilud  Quod quis deridet, quam quod probat et veneratur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great actions are not always true sons Of great and mighty resolutions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great actions are not always true sons Of great and mighty resolutions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And men sit down to that nourishment which is called supper. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item></channel></rss>
