The answer, that he should order his life so that he can find the greatest happiness in it, is more a practical question, similar to that of how a man should spend his weekend, then a metaphysical proposition as to what is the mystic purpose of his life in the scheme of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once the Xerox copier was invented, diplomacy died. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once the Xerox copier was invented, diplomacy died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Boys and the FrogsSome boys, playing near a pond, saw a number of Frogs in the water and began ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1556]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Boys and the FrogsSome boys, playing near a pond, saw a number of Frogs in the water and began to pelt them with stones.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have to say I was very pleased with the way we played.

Whether this deity be true or false, the temple as such becomes a meeting-place for people who desire to worship as they understand it. For the ancient Hebrews, the Temple in Jerusalem was the house of God, the place where God dwelt symbolically, and met with people who came to worship. Jesus called it "My Father's house." For the Christian, the word 'church' has become the symbol for the edifice built and dedicated for the worship of God. But unless it is so dedicated and so used, it may be considered only a mere building or club-house. However beautiful its design and architecture, a church is a true temple only as it is frequented by God's people who come to "worship Him in spirit and in truth," and who there hold forth "the word of life." (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light is the task when many share the toil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Light is the task when many share the toil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66447]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461]]></link><description><![CDATA[God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of all conflicts.
