The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8234]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persistence is the twin sister of excellence.

"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a certain sense all men are historians. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19321]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a certain sense all men are historians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other in practice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other in practice as large teeming flaw colonies, the result being that they get on each other's nerves and regularly erupt into vicious emotional shouting matches over such issues as toaster settings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel I was the luckiest guy in the world to be part of this show, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37078]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel I was the luckiest guy in the world to be part of this show,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our compell'd sins Stand more for number than for accompt. -Measure for Measure.
