Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For women the best aphrodisiacs are words.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion.
