Oh! do not lament, you have now the portion of the elect. It is in this way that mortals become angels. It is not their fault; they do not know how to set about it otherwise.

The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It feels really nice to be honored.

From all that terror teaches,  From lies of tongue and pen; From all the easy speeches  That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation  Of honor and the sword; From sleep and from damnation,  Deliver us, good Lord! Tie in a living tether  The prince and priest and thrall; Bind all our lives together,  Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation  Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation,  A single sword to Thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62099]]></link><description><![CDATA[All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A monster frightful, formless, immense, with sight removed. [Lat., Monstrum horrendum, informe, ingens, cui lumen ademptum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56261]]></link><description><![CDATA[A monster frightful, formless, immense, with sight removed. [Lat., Monstrum horrendum, informe, ingens, cui lumen ademptum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farre shooting never kild bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farre shooting never kild bird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crude gained a lot last week and we are giving some of that back.
