Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine? Thou payest debts, owing nothing; remittest debts, losing nothing. And that have I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee?

It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841 I know the road to Jericho   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841 I know the road to Jericho   It's in a part of town That's full of factories and filth.

People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come home to men's business and bosoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come home to men's business and bosoms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? . . .

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A solid man of Boston; A comfortable man with dividends,  And the first salmon and the first green peas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4783]]></link><description><![CDATA[A solid man of Boston; A comfortable man with dividends,  And the first salmon and the first green peas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danger breeds best on too much confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Danger breeds best on too much confidence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19918]]></link><description><![CDATA[At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're going to kill someone there isn't much reason to get all worked up about it and angry - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66744]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're going to kill someone there isn't much reason to get all worked up about it and angry - you just pull the trigger.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really wasn't even thinking about getting into the end zone.
