The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Paradise, the Arabs say, Satan could never find the way  Until the peacock led him in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46001]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Paradise, the Arabs say, Satan could never find the way  Until the peacock led him in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution.
