May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hands across the sea, Feet on English ground,  The old blood is bold blood, the wide world round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hands across the sea, Feet on English ground,  The old blood is bold blood, the wide world round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's pretty lonely onstage, I have to admit, ...

I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28684]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The glory dies not, and the grief is past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17540]]></link><description><![CDATA[The glory dies not, and the grief is past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47482]]></link><description><![CDATA[In our own time we have seen domination spread over the social landscape to a point where it is beyond all human control.
