Faith says not, "I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it," but, "God sent it, and so it must be good for me." Faith, walking in the dark with God, only prays Him to clasp its hand more closely.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4650]]></link><description><![CDATA[I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. -Aristotle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. -Aristotle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a fine man Hath your tailor made you! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58566]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a fine man Hath your tailor made you!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The obstacles you face are... mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The obstacles you face are... mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In jealousy there is more of self-love than love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23180]]></link><description><![CDATA[In jealousy there is more of self-love than love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever fortune wishes to joke, she lifts people from what is humble to the highest extremity of affairs. [Lat., Ex ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever fortune wishes to joke, she lifts people from what is humble to the highest extremity of affairs. [Lat., Ex humili magna ad fastigia rerum  Extollit, quoties voluit fortuna jocari.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With ravish'd ears The monarch hears,  Assumes the god,   Affects to nod,    And seems ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17747]]></link><description><![CDATA[With ravish'd ears The monarch hears,  Assumes the god,   Affects to nod,    And seems to shake the spheres.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, we have injected UF6 gas into a limited number of centrifuge machines, but it is even less than what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, we have injected UF6 gas into a limited number of centrifuge machines, but it is even less than what is needed for a pilot project.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By printing cases on-line, these printers provide a dependable means to substantially reduce packaging operating costs by eliminating the need ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33024]]></link><description><![CDATA[By printing cases on-line, these printers provide a dependable means to substantially reduce packaging operating costs by eliminating the need for preprinted cases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't ask me who's influenced me.

It is where people of different traditions, outlook and creeds mingle freely and exchange ideas that religious beliefs begin to be eroded. No one changes his beliefs without some instigation, some novel experience, some modification of the customary course of things, and in a closed society people believe what all their fellows obviously believe. Only when they are brought into contact with persons whom they respect holding different views do they begin to look at their inherited beliefs critically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary  The fall was simply this, that some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary  The fall was simply this, that some creature -- that is, something which is not God -- took His place with man; and man, trusting the creature more than God, walked in its light -- or darkness -- rather than in fellowship with God. Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grammar is the grave of letters ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grammar is the grave of letters]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts.
