We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ...

Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To suck it up and do what I did means a lot more than when I was 40th on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30251]]></link><description><![CDATA[To suck it up and do what I did means a lot more than when I was 40th on the money list and everybody was telling you how great you are,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45813]]></link><description><![CDATA[To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country. [Lat., Servare cives, major est virtus patriae patri.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45292]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't always about adding resources, it's about ensuring your resources are appropriately allocated.
