For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down."  He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke.  I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such is our dependence upon God that we are obliged not only to do everything for His sake, but also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such is our dependence upon God that we are obliged not only to do everything for His sake, but also to seek from Him the very power. This happy necessity of having recourse to Him in all our wants, instead of being grievous to us, should be our greatest consolation. What a happiness is it that we are allowed to speak to Him with confidence; to open our hearts and hold familiar conversation with him, by prayer! He Himself invites us to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God does not require you to follow His leadings on blind trust.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46622]]></link><description><![CDATA[More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a dog is a drowning, everyone offers him drink. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50061]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a dog is a drowning, everyone offers him drink.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earned with the sweat of my brows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earned with the sweat of my brows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is to be fortified by many friendships.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We look at each situation on a case-by-case basis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40500]]></link><description><![CDATA[We look at each situation on a case-by-case basis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have ability.
