That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There come nought out of the sacke but what was there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49949]]></link><description><![CDATA[There come nought out of the sacke but what was there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What mighty contests rise from trivial things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50933]]></link><description><![CDATA[What mighty contests rise from trivial things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An advantage of poverty, your relatives gain nothing by your death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53357]]></link><description><![CDATA[An advantage of poverty, your relatives gain nothing by your death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we don't see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, butrather as a problem with ourselves, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21369]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we don't see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, butrather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we willimmediately feel overwhelmed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His very faults smack of the raciness of his good qualities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15455]]></link><description><![CDATA[His very faults smack of the raciness of his good qualities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66511]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To admire nothing, (as most are wont to do;) Is the only method that I know,  To make men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/608]]></link><description><![CDATA[To admire nothing, (as most are wont to do;) Is the only method that I know,  To make men happy, and to keep them so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement, if he makes up his mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13773]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement, if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day, and as nearly as possible reaching the high water mark of pure and useful living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned that good-byes will always hurt, pictures will never replace having been there, memories good and bad will bring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1476]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've learned that good-byes will always hurt, pictures will never replace having been there, memories good and bad will bring tears, and words can never replace feelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57265]]></link><description><![CDATA[What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My very first lessons in the art of telling stories took place in the kitchen . . . my mother ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23887]]></link><description><![CDATA[My very first lessons in the art of telling stories took place in the kitchen . . . my mother and three or four of her friends. . . told stories. . . with effortless art and technique.
