You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can giveyourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, orsome time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough toaccept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, andfrom the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O how full of briars is this working-day world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51228]]></link><description><![CDATA[O how full of briars is this working-day world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43822]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes.

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction, strength ofcharacter, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness, backbone, and intestinalfortitude.
