The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see them here is a dream come true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41577]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see them here is a dream come true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42750]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you go back to the '70s, we have not improved very much in intensity forecasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40855]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you go back to the '70s, we have not improved very much in intensity forecasts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of joys departed Not to return, how painful the remembrance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of joys departed Not to return, how painful the remembrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the long hours do pass away, So doth the life of man decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58302]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the long hours do pass away, So doth the life of man decay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58302</guid></item></channel></rss>
