A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the curve has moved to flat as a pancake to a bit inverted and yields open the year near ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32932]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the curve has moved to flat as a pancake to a bit inverted and yields open the year near 4.38%, we are not excited about further inversion just yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Christian Church does not want and does not need members because of a job it has to do.

The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good manners have much to do with emotions.

This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And that dismal cry rose slowly And sank slowly through the air,  Full of spirit's melancholy   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17740]]></link><description><![CDATA[And that dismal cry rose slowly And sank slowly through the air,  Full of spirit's melancholy   And eternity's despair!    And they heart the words it said--     Pan is dead! great Pan is dead!      Pan, Pan is dead!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17638]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't stand accessories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39299]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't stand accessories.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who can enjoy alone? Or all enjoying what contentment find? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who can enjoy alone? Or all enjoying what contentment find?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With corporate balance sheets and cash flow strong, we look for investment spending to remain strong, pushing up growth in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39111]]></link><description><![CDATA[With corporate balance sheets and cash flow strong, we look for investment spending to remain strong, pushing up growth in the capital stock and adding to labor productivity growth in 2006.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have not been any big blips in inflation (so far this year). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34710]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have not been any big blips in inflation (so far this year).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John and Charles Wesley, Priests, Poets, Teachers, 1791 & 1788   The cause of their decline was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John and Charles Wesley, Priests, Poets, Teachers, 1791 & 1788   The cause of their decline was not, as has been supposed, because there is no more need for [the charismatic gifts], "because all the world had become Christian". ...

All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promises... Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some hae meat, and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it;  But we hae meat, and we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some hae meat, and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it;  But we hae meat, and we can eat,   And sae the Lord be thankit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare? ... that became for me more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57380]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare? ... that became for me more and more the real measure of value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thirsty Earth soaks up the Rain, And drinks, and gapes for Drink again;  The Plants suck in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13001]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thirsty Earth soaks up the Rain, And drinks, and gapes for Drink again;  The Plants suck in the Earth and are   With constant Drinking fresh and fair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6994]]></link><description><![CDATA[That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law.

This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45657]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66611]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59951]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity makes a man wise, not rich ... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity makes a man wise, not rich ...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is nothing without friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is nothing without friendship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10933</guid></item></channel></rss>
