And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You bring in freshman and you know they have the talent to do it.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62494]]></link><description><![CDATA[An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A simple rule, to be followed whether one is in the light or not, gives backbone to one's spiritual life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6425]]></link><description><![CDATA[A simple rule, to be followed whether one is in the light or not, gives backbone to one's spiritual life, as nothing else can.  ... Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when
