And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are serious in ridiculous matters will be ridiculous in serious matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are serious in ridiculous matters will be ridiculous in serious matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bitterest tear shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bitterest tear shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visible arts, the theater, must singly and together create the most comprehensive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59040]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visible arts, the theater, must singly and together create the most comprehensive art of all, a humanized society, and its masterpiece, free man]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lauren has been waiting to click.
