I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Done to death by slanderous tongues. -Much Ado about Nothing.

The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad luck there, Ricky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad luck there, Ricky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am always ready to learn although I do not always like to be taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24584]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am always ready to learn although I do not always like to be taught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These kids just don't see anything, so when you come, they think you're a real celebrity; they keep asking you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35501]]></link><description><![CDATA[These kids just don't see anything, so when you come, they think you're a real celebrity; they keep asking you for your autograph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
