The soul cannot be satiated in your abyss, for she continually hungers after you, the eternal Trinity, desiring to see you with the light of your light. As the hart desires the springs of living water, so my soul desires to leave the prison of this dark body and see you in truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the point of view of the playwright, then, the essence of a tragedy, or even of a serious play, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42317]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the point of view of the playwright, then, the essence of a tragedy, or even of a serious play, is the spiritual awakening, or regeneration, of his hero.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We take our hats off to them.

Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17297]]></link><description><![CDATA[No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longest Day hath an Eueninge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longest Day hath an Eueninge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/988]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some go to church to see and be seen, Some go there to say they have been, Some go there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some go to church to see and be seen, Some go there to say they have been, Some go there to sleep and nod, But few go there to worship God]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20360]]></link><description><![CDATA[He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And New York needs no explanation.
