You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tekel: Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tekel: Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58681]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11045]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32662]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was wholly lost]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43288]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never, with important air, In conversation overbear.  . . . .   My tongue within my lips ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10090]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never, with important air, In conversation overbear.  . . . .   My tongue within my lips I rein;    For who talks much must talk in vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people thrive under pressure, but pressure can also ruin your performance, it can push you down angles which you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people thrive under pressure, but pressure can also ruin your performance, it can push you down angles which you don't want to go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether it's one dollar from a kid, or five, 10 or 20 dollars from an adult, it all adds up, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether it's one dollar from a kid, or five, 10 or 20 dollars from an adult, it all adds up,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44200]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stay the course, light a star,Change the world where'er you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stay the course, light a star,Change the world where'er you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1308</guid></item></channel></rss>
