Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he sang every night as he went to bed.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a good feeling that you've been part of the gentle and considerate repopulation of these rural areas, as well ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36657]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a good feeling that you've been part of the gentle and considerate repopulation of these rural areas, as well as creating the employment opportunities for the local kids to leave school and get a proper job,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude.
