For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see levels below 17,500 as very attractive for bargain-hunting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36555]]></link><description><![CDATA[I see levels below 17,500 as very attractive for bargain-hunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My thoughts before a big race are usually pretty simple.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4178]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Is not your love what it is because He put it into your heart first? Have you not often been cross with them? Sometimes unjust to them? Whence came the returning love that rose from unknown depths in your being, and swept away the anger and the injustice? You did not create that love. Probably you were not good enough to send for it by prayer. But it came. God sent it. He makes you love your children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky When storms prepare to part,  I ask not proud Philosophy   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52945]]></link><description><![CDATA[Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky When storms prepare to part,  I ask not proud Philosophy   To teach me what thou art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still have a refining issue.
