[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today: how can peoples of different ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today: how can peoples of different appearance, mutually unintelligible languages, and dissimilar ways of life get along peaceably together?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we call "progress " is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48360]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we call "progress " is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hastenest down between the hills to meet me at the road, The secret scarcely lisping of thy beautiful abode ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hastenest down between the hills to meet me at the road, The secret scarcely lisping of thy beautiful abode  Among the pines and mosses of yonder shadowy height,   Where thou dost sparkle into song, and fill the woods with light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe May 26 would be a great opportunity for promoting Georgia as the cradle of wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35653]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe May 26 would be a great opportunity for promoting Georgia as the cradle of wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not death, but dying, which is terrible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11272]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46758]]></link><description><![CDATA[For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to keep one's word is not to give it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48397]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to keep one's word is not to give it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfectplan executed next week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21236]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfectplan executed next week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are slumberous poppies, Lords of Lethe downs,  Some awake and some asleep,   Sleeping in our crowns. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47683]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are slumberous poppies, Lords of Lethe downs,  Some awake and some asleep,   Sleeping in our crowns.    What perchance our dreams may know,     Let our serious may know.   -
