And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'd have a hard time finding a major publishing company that has not begun to reduce its page size. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33013]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'd have a hard time finding a major publishing company that has not begun to reduce its page size.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8826]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and everybody else was happy.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young minds what they should be.
