They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man, without religion, is the creature of circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man, without religion, is the creature of circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right out of the chute, we announced awards from returning customers and had a fantastically successful Atlas V launch with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41729]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right out of the chute, we announced awards from returning customers and had a fantastically successful Atlas V launch with NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto - and there are 11 months to go in 2006.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free.

I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has to be displayed, this face, on a more or less horizontal plane.

And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth hath a quiet breast. -King Richard II.
