How tangled are our straightest ways; How dimly flares our brightest star; How earthbound is our highest praise To Thee, who sees us as we are.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affliction, like the iron-smith, shapes as it smites. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affliction, like the iron-smith, shapes as it smites.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said: that it was a Great delusion to think that the times of prayer ought to differ from other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7740]]></link><description><![CDATA[He said: that it was a Great delusion to think that the times of prayer ought to differ from other times; that we are as strictly obliged to adhere to God by action in the time of action, as by prayer in its season.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48292]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ocean asks for nothing but thosewho stand by her shoresgradually attune themselves to her rhythmCharles Dickens in David Copperfield. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25820]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ocean asks for nothing but thosewho stand by her shoresgradually attune themselves to her rhythmCharles Dickens in David Copperfield.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be good, be kind, be humane, and charitable; love your fellows; console the afflicted; pardon those who have done you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be good, be kind, be humane, and charitable; love your fellows; console the afflicted; pardon those who have done you wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money alone is absolutely good, because it is not only a concrete satisfaction of one need in particular; it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money alone is absolutely good, because it is not only a concrete satisfaction of one need in particular; it is an abstract satisfaction of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26006]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14330</guid></item></channel></rss>
