It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truly good book teaches me better than to read it.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43837]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1210]]></link><description><![CDATA[One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What they are doing is priceless, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39706]]></link><description><![CDATA[What they are doing is priceless,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reading furnishes the mind only with materials for knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reading furnishes the mind only with materials for knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played well for the most part.
