But the first time I was behind the wheel of a fire truck, I was awestruck by the responsibility. Sure you can run a stoplight, but you have to make sure the intersection is clear before you do.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We batted ourselves into a very good position and then batted ourselves into a very bad position. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37915]]></link><description><![CDATA[We batted ourselves into a very good position and then batted ourselves into a very bad position.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One trouble with trouble is that is usually starts out like fun ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59716]]></link><description><![CDATA[One trouble with trouble is that is usually starts out like fun]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2446]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to show respect for the sword for the audience to believe it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37374]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to show respect for the sword for the audience to believe it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12435]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public officers are the servants and agents of the people, to execute laws which the people have made and within ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public officers are the servants and agents of the people, to execute laws which the people have made and within the limits of a constitution which they have established.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's exciting; I don't know whether I'm going to win or not.
