All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand.

They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to make God laugh: Tell him your future plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17721]]></link><description><![CDATA[How to make God laugh: Tell him your future plans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God the Father, the supreme Architect, had already built this cosmic home we behold, the most sacred temple of His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66606]]></link><description><![CDATA[God the Father, the supreme Architect, had already built this cosmic home we behold, the most sacred temple of His godhead, by the laws of His mysterious wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing would be done at all if a man waited until he coulddo it so well that no one could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing would be done at all if a man waited until he coulddo it so well that no one could find fault with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a new perpetual succession of miracles rising up to its view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not unexpected.
