The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're coming at it from both sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37839]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're coming at it from both sides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself thanin any other way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21521]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself thanin any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, Spiritual Writer, 1626 Commemoration of Sergius of Radonezh, Russian Monastic Reformer, Teacher, 1392 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, Spiritual Writer, 1626 Commemoration of Sergius of Radonezh, Russian Monastic Reformer, Teacher, 1392   The manifestation of God in the flesh, the Evangelists set down by way of a history; the Apostle goes farther, and finds a deep mystery in it, and for a mystery commends it to us.
