Accordingly we must note the general forms by which no one from first to last (as people say) is excluded, provided sincerity of heart, dissatisfaction with ourselves, humility, and faith are present in order that our hypocrisy may not profane God's name by calling upon him deceitfully. Our most gracious Father will not cast out those whom he not only urges, but stirs up with every possible means, to come to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joel, I'm not a concept.

This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conditions are never just right.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bravest are the most tender; the loving are the daring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63384]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bravest are the most tender; the loving are the daring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59181]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66844]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because it's there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because it's there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43309</guid></item></channel></rss>
