It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was that law of life, so cruel and so just, that one must grow or else pay more for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57094]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was that law of life, so cruel and so just, that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same. - The Deer Park.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ridicule is the language of the devil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is the language of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15308]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary goal of a vendor is to make money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64344]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primary goal of a vendor is to make money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "should" is a "have to" with no teeth; it is deadenergy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22599]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "should" is a "have to" with no teeth; it is deadenergy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtually every company will be going out and empowering their workers with a certain set of tools, and the big ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtually every company will be going out and empowering their workers with a certain set of tools, and the big difference in how much value is received from that will be how much the company steps back and really thinks through their business processes…thinking through how their business can change, how their project management, their customer feedback, their planning cycles can be quite different than they ever were before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear that the Fed will continue well into 2006 has been dramatically reduced, and that's why equities look so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34707]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fear that the Fed will continue well into 2006 has been dramatically reduced, and that's why equities look so good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger makes us strong, Blind and impatient, And it leads us wrong; The strength is quickly lost; We feel the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger makes us strong, Blind and impatient, And it leads us wrong; The strength is quickly lost; We feel the error long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get together a hundred or two men, however sensible they may be, and you are very likely to have a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42858]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get together a hundred or two men, however sensible they may be, and you are very likely to have a mob.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is born to live, not to prepare for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is born to live, not to prepare for life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea--this truth must be confessed-- has no generosity.
