And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do every day or two something for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do every day or two something for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an hour in each man's life appointed To make his happiness, if then he seize it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45061]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is an hour in each man's life appointed To make his happiness, if then he seize it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lord of all being is far more than the Lord of all beings.
