It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil never tempts us with more success than when he tempts us with a sight of our own good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6277]]></link><description><![CDATA[The devil never tempts us with more success than when he tempts us with a sight of our own good actions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone has to die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, 'the first President to lose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone has to die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, 'the first President to lose a war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[During her sabbatical, she said, she would often sit in her backyard in Venice, Calif., thinking and playing with pine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34910]]></link><description><![CDATA[[During her sabbatical, she said, she would often sit in her backyard in Venice, Calif., thinking and playing with pine cones.] I was making little pine-cone people with razor blades, ...

Of the present moment -- and of it only -- humans have an experience analogous to the experience which God has of reality as a whole; in it alone, freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prodded her to do it, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41892]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prodded her to do it,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have been penalized for both of those in the month of July, as they were in the month of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35505]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have been penalized for both of those in the month of July, as they were in the month of June and the month of May, ...

You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past.
