The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57392]]></link><description><![CDATA[It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you make a bet, you're saying something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28608]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you make a bet, you're saying something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have measured many a mile To tread a measure with you on this grass. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imitation is suicide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imitation is suicide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is the art of choosing among one's real thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is the art of choosing among one's real thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we speak of the commerce with our colonies, fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5019]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we speak of the commerce with our colonies, fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and barren.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we don't know life, how can we know death? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64231]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we don't know life, how can we know death?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man who does it needs a day's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62149]]></link><description><![CDATA[A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man who does it needs a day's sustenance, a night's repose, and due leisure, whether he be a painter or ploughman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their heads sometimes so little that there is no room for wit; sometimes so long, that there is no wit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their heads sometimes so little that there is no room for wit; sometimes so long, that there is no wit for so much room.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which is everybody's business is nobody's business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17915]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which is everybody's business is nobody's business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My son already knows how to program my phone.
