Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease, to fall into the hands of God, to scape the hands of men: When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearefull thing, to fall into the hands of the living God; but to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth sits upon the lips of dying men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way you can do that [decrease taxes, balance the budget, and increase military spending] is with mirrors, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47663]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way you can do that [decrease taxes, balance the budget, and increase military spending] is with mirrors, and that's what it would take.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have suffered from depression for most of my life.

How, then, is it with you and me? Be very sure that upon Calvary it was no strange, immoral favouritism that came into operation, whereby -- because of some beliefs that remain mere dead letters, that produce no change whatever in their characters -- some people living the same kind of life as others and following the same selfish ends and interests as they, are given a destiny entirely different. That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, but yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the hornet hangs in the holly hock, And the brown bee drones i' the rose,  And the west ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the hornet hangs in the holly hock, And the brown bee drones i' the rose,  And the west is a red-streaked four-o'clock,   And summer is near its close--    It's--Oh, for the gate, and the locust lane;     And dusk, and dew, and home again!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last time we did this there was some criticism on our procedure.
