The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53274]]></link><description><![CDATA[But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Draw a crazy picture,Write a nutty poem,Sing a mumble-gumble song,Whistle through your comb.Do a loony-goony dance'Cross the kitchen floor,Put something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Draw a crazy picture,Write a nutty poem,Sing a mumble-gumble song,Whistle through your comb.Do a loony-goony dance'Cross the kitchen floor,Put something silly in the worldThat ain't been there before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12317]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and row brave by reflection. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10331]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and row brave by reflection.

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can wealth give happiness? look round and see What gay distress! what splendid misery!  Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can wealth give happiness? look round and see What gay distress! what splendid misery!  Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour,   The mind annihilates, and calls for more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the child of audacity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the child of audacity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most curious offspring of shame is shyness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56139]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most curious offspring of shame is shyness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56139</guid></item></channel></rss>
