Not until men get rid of the thought that it is a poor machine, an expedient for saving them from suffering and pain; not until they get the grand idea of it as the great power of God present in and through the lives of men; not until then does Christianity enter upon its true trial and become ready to show what it can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In your life, you meet people.

But is it not true that in our hearts we are afraid that the full-orbed, unfiltered revelation of God will disturb some custom, some privilege, some status by which we benefit in society, occupation, or government? And knowing that we are profiting by the blood, sweat, and tears of the many, we feel wrath rising in us whenever it is proposed that religion touches the thing in question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him be kept from paper, pen, and ink; So may he cease to write, and learn to think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him be kept from paper, pen, and ink; So may he cease to write, and learn to think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a man is, so he sees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44797]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a man is, so he sees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get where you want to go you can't only do what you like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63800]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get where you want to go you can't only do what you like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With me being a big guy and a physical presence out there, that's what I need to do ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ lay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29238]]></link><description><![CDATA[With me being a big guy and a physical presence out there, that's what I need to do ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ lay the body, have some big hits, play strong defense and, when you need to fight and the opportunity arises, go at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We soon believe the things we would believe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41136]]></link><description><![CDATA[We soon believe the things we would believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis pleasing to be school'd in a strange tongue By female lips and eyes--that is, I mean,  When both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58733]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis pleasing to be school'd in a strange tongue By female lips and eyes--that is, I mean,  When both the teacher and the taught are young,   As was the case, at least, where I have been;    They smile so when one's right; and when one's wrong     They smile still more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions.

These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard.

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/278]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This sounds like a geography question.
