It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Withdraw yourself from that vile bondage; Come say, "I am free," "I am free." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Withdraw yourself from that vile bondage; Come say, "I am free," "I am free."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ant and the Dove AN ANT went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, andbeing carried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1497]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ant and the Dove AN ANT went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, andbeing carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point ofdrowning. A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain thebirdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dovetake wing.One good turn deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgotten is forgiven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgotten is forgiven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44405]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until eventually he knows everything about nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1401]]></link><description><![CDATA[An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until eventually he knows everything about nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you haven't taken that next step, self doubt can take over.

I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can one review thousands and thousands of pages in just a matter of a few days?
