But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The higher one climbs on the spiritual ladder, the more they willgrant others their own freedom, and give less interference ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22441]]></link><description><![CDATA[The higher one climbs on the spiritual ladder, the more they willgrant others their own freedom, and give less interference to another'sstate of consciousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Red as a rose of Harpocrate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Red as a rose of Harpocrate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46135]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45647]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever the storm carries me, I go a willing guest. [Lat., Quo me cumque rapit tempestas deferor hospes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever the storm carries me, I go a willing guest. [Lat., Quo me cumque rapit tempestas deferor hospes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for- because unless we stand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for- because unless we stand for something we shall fall for anything]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was never ruined but twice: once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24322]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was never ruined but twice: once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to hold the asse by the bridle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49563]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to hold the asse by the bridle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiving does not erase the bitter past.
