In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It sounds extraordinary but it’s a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15681]]></link><description><![CDATA[It sounds extraordinary but it’s a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8042]]></link><description><![CDATA[What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke, that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself? Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones? Is that a thing to say blithely? Is it not rather a thing to say sadly -- as if it were the saddest thing in the world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books must follow sciences, and not sciences books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books must follow sciences, and not sciences books.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we quarrel, how we wish we had been blameless! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52688]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we quarrel, how we wish we had been blameless!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was their (the state's) request.
