The profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter. But worldly business is to be made holy unto the Lord, by being done as a service unto Him, and in conformity to His Divine will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11780]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young men soon give and soon forget affronts; Old age is slow in both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young men soon give and soon forget affronts; Old age is slow in both.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Using the Oval office to cheat on your wife makes you a bad husband and an irresponsible leader.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their cause I plead--plead it in heart and mind; A fellow-feeling makes one wondrous kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their cause I plead--plead it in heart and mind; A fellow-feeling makes one wondrous kind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we form habits, then they form us.
