Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better… or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His eye begets occasion for his wit; For every object that the one doth catch  The other turns to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57925]]></link><description><![CDATA[His eye begets occasion for his wit; For every object that the one doth catch  The other turns to a mirth-moving jest,   Which his fair tongue, conceit's expositor,    Delivers in such apt and gracious words,     That aged ears play truant at his tales,      And younger hearings are quite ravished,       So sweet and voluble is his discourse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am opposed to censorship.

We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9394]]></link><description><![CDATA[In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before.

Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trick is in what one emphasizes.
