We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the most beautiful of all lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the most beautiful of all lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the buying of new machinery meant not only the possibility of production, but even the new technology, 'cos as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35740]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the buying of new machinery meant not only the possibility of production, but even the new technology, 'cos as I mentioned before, we were back of seven, eight years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is said that gifts persuade even the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17435]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is said that gifts persuade even the gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more kindness shown to an envious man, the worse he becomes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52056]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more kindness shown to an envious man, the worse he becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66276]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64735]]></link><description><![CDATA[They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [true love] is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie,  Which heart to heart, and mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58531]]></link><description><![CDATA[It [true love] is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie,  Which heart to heart, and mind to mind   In body and in soul can bind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one.
