He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23768]]></link><description><![CDATA[That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12117]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32123]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11855]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friendship we share grows amidst the craggy rock pond; reeds of water spray fireflies scented with bonfires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65781]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friendship we share grows amidst the craggy rock pond; reeds of water spray fireflies scented with bonfires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's going to happen everywhere, everywhere, the first thing that's going to happen is as many people as possible are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35835]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's going to happen everywhere, everywhere, the first thing that's going to happen is as many people as possible are going to go find their kids.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God helps him who strives hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19159]]></link><description><![CDATA[God helps him who strives hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45229]]></link><description><![CDATA[He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won'tsucceed; you must have a larger ambition.

Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bubble winked at me, and said, "You'll miss me brother, when you're dead." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59392]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bubble winked at me, and said, "You'll miss me brother, when you're dead."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was one of the greatest sports moments of my life.
