The discontent that works, and the discontent that wrings its hands. The first gets what it wants. The second loses what it has.

We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're at a critical time in the debate and we want the American public to receive a positive message.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15961]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those that know how to win are much more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those that know how to win are much more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of their victories.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerfulness is the atmosphere in which all things thrive ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness is the atmosphere in which all things thrive]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What means this heaviness that hangs upon me? This lethargy that creeps through all my senses?  Nature, oppress'd and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56607]]></link><description><![CDATA[What means this heaviness that hangs upon me? This lethargy that creeps through all my senses?  Nature, oppress'd and harrass'd out with care,   Sinks down to rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head.

Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can seduce a man without taking anything off, without even touching him ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55045]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can seduce a man without taking anything off, without even touching him]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20578]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43887]]></link><description><![CDATA[A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A one hundred yard high tower still has its foundation on the ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62822]]></link><description><![CDATA[A one hundred yard high tower still has its foundation on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
