Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the way the world ends ...

The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where'er you walk cool gales shall fan the glade, Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade.  Where'er ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where'er you walk cool gales shall fan the glade, Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade.  Where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall rise,   And all things flourish where you turn your eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A smile that glow'd Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56683]]></link><description><![CDATA[A smile that glow'd Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56683</guid></item></channel></rss>
