Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935]]></link><description><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My sole literary ambition is to write one good novel, then retire to my hut in the desert, assume the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26790]]></link><description><![CDATA[My sole literary ambition is to write one good novel, then retire to my hut in the desert, assume the lotus position, compose my mind and senses, and sink into meditation, contemplating my novel]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess we took the illustrations to influential people so they could help.
