He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

Here is a bon mot and a useful desire, but equally absurd. For to make the handful bigger than the hand, the armful bigger then the arm, and to hope to stride further than the stretch of our legs, is impossible and monstrous. . . . He may lift himself if God lend him His hand of special grace; he may lift himself . . . by means wholly celestial. It is for our Christian religion, and not for his Stoic virtue, to pretend to this divine and miraculous metamorphosis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human voice is the organ of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60938]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human voice is the organ of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Natural Clock-work by the might One Wound up at first, and ever since have gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58309]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Natural Clock-work by the might One Wound up at first, and ever since have gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the answer to prayer is not that it changes life, but that itchanges you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the answer to prayer is not that it changes life, but that itchanges you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one wants advice -- only corroboration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/795]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one wants advice -- only corroboration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  If it be the earnest desire and longing of your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  If it be the earnest desire and longing of your heart to be merciful as He is merciful; to be full of His unwearied patience, to dwell in His unalterable meekness; if you long to be like Him in universal, impartial love; if you desire to communicate every good to every creature that you are able; if you love and practice everything that is good, righteous, and lovely for its own sake, because it is good, righteous, and lovely; and resist no evil but with goodness; then you have the utmost certainty that the Spirit of God dwells and governs in you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marietta is really coming around.

Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is such a secret place, the land of tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64350]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is such a secret place, the land of tears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61973]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is an ideal thing, marriage is a real thing.
