But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62360]]></link><description><![CDATA[And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with anopen one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with anopen one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a trip to Mexico [in 1984]...

I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Personally, one of the down sides of founding a company is that there is always too much work to do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Personally, one of the down sides of founding a company is that there is always too much work to do, and sadly I find I don't have much time to code any more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is very different now.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item></channel></rss>
