Increasingly I rejoiced in the Gospel -- the amazing Good News -- that the Creator of what to us human beings is this bewildering and unimaginably vast universe, so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Everlasting life, I came to see, is not just continued existence, but a growing knowledge -- not merely intellectual but wondering through trust, love, and fellowship -- of Him who alone is truly God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36436]]></link><description><![CDATA[For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf, Witch's mummy, maw and gulf  Of the ravined salt-sea shark,   Root ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf, Witch's mummy, maw and gulf  Of the ravined salt-sea shark,   Root of hemlock digged i' th' dark,    Liver of blaspheming Jew,     Gall of goat, and slips of yew      Slivered in the moon's eclipse,       Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips,        Finger of birth-strangled babe         Ditch-delivered by a drab          Make the gruel thick and slab.           Add there to a tiger's chaudron            For th' ingredience of our cauldron.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3664]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to have fun.

Ecclesiastics seems for the most part to have failed, failed both man and God; but God has not failed, Jesus has not failed. The God-man still remains the only leader into cooperation whose wisdom is sufficient for a permanent, competent, and free Society. The dictators and would-be dictators will not do. They overreach themselves. Eventually they will destroy one another, and kill off most of us. But even that disaster will not eradicate the desire of men and women to lay down lives for that which is more than themselves. Men will continue to demand not the freedom from that degree of unity for which the dictatorships stand, but rather a finer, more noble, more perceptive kind of unity: a human solidarity which is not nationalistic but world-embracing, a human integration which in aim and purpose is not secularist but spiritual. What the world unwittingly is groping after is allegiance to the eternal, the compassionate, the completely integrating Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth today must be strong, unafraid, and a better taxpayer than its father. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth today must be strong, unafraid, and a better taxpayer than its father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let pride go afore, shame will follow after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let pride go afore, shame will follow after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to be a good game.
