The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us -- loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe -- yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine were then surcharged with belief in the supernatural, miracles were everywhere. Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quarrels of lovers lead but to the renewal of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51748]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quarrels of lovers lead but to the renewal of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10316]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/376]]></link><description><![CDATA[High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many search for happiness as we look for a hat we wear on our heads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many search for happiness as we look for a hat we wear on our heads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13459]]></link><description><![CDATA[In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1406]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every subject's duty is the king's, but every subject's soul is his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every subject's duty is the king's, but every subject's soul is his own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final mystery is oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43548]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final mystery is oneself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963   I do not think I am fanciful in discerning among some of those who most earnestly plead against the Christian social movement a feeling that there is something fundamentally intractable, inscrutable, mysterious about the world, and that no more can be hoped for than an heroic protest in the name of Christ, made in obedience but with no sort of hope that anything can come of it. I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stealing someone else's words frequently spares the embarrassment of eating your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stealing someone else's words frequently spares the embarrassment of eating your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who hath not heard the rich complain Of surfeits, and corporeal pain?  He barr'd from every use of wealth, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who hath not heard the rich complain Of surfeits, and corporeal pain?  He barr'd from every use of wealth,   Envies the ploughman's strength and health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seemed to me that he was there for her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36169]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seemed to me that he was there for her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23958]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed--I well know.
