It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    In questions of this sort there are two things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    In questions of this sort there are two things to be observed. First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21238]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3156]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men must try and try again.

Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coffee is a beverage that puts one to sleep when not drank. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coffee is a beverage that puts one to sleep when not drank.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money talks — but credit has an echo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money talks — but credit has an echo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams.

He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You souls of geese, That bear the shapes of men, how have you run  From slaves that apes would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10499]]></link><description><![CDATA[You souls of geese, That bear the shapes of men, how have you run  From slaves that apes would men!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go, forget me--why should sorrow O'er that brow a shadow fling?  Go, forget me--and to-morrow   Brightly smile ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go, forget me--why should sorrow O'er that brow a shadow fling?  Go, forget me--and to-morrow   Brightly smile and sweetly sing.    Smile--though I shall not be near thee;     Sing--though I shall never hear thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Develop a built-in bullshit detector. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Develop a built-in bullshit detector.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[L'Abbe de Ville proposed a toast, His master, as the rising Sun:  Reisbach then gave the Empress Queen,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59416]]></link><description><![CDATA[L'Abbe de Ville proposed a toast, His master, as the rising Sun:  Reisbach then gave the Empress Queen,   As the bright moon and much praise won.    The Earl of Stair, whose turn next came,     Gave for his toast his own King Will,      As Joshua the sun of Nun,       Who made both Sun and Moon stand still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Criticks are like brushers of Noblemens cloaths. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Criticks are like brushers of Noblemens cloaths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10622]]></link><description><![CDATA[You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Net used to be 50 percent men and 50 percent men pretending to be women, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41418]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Net used to be 50 percent men and 50 percent men pretending to be women,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind still longs for what it has missed, and loses itself in the contemplation of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50835]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind still longs for what it has missed, and loses itself in the contemplation of the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them.
