There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living.

It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As for the brandy, "nothing extenuate"; and the water, put nought in in malice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25155]]></link><description><![CDATA[As for the brandy, "nothing extenuate"; and the water, put nought in in malice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54172]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
