Ah, how the City of our God is fair! If, without sea, and starless though it be, For joy of the majestic beauty there, Men shall not miss the stars, nor mourn the sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that was the case here.

Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, "Are you scared, too?" "You bet your sweet life I am." "Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too." We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, "Who else feels like this?" the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is contagious.

In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be willing to make decisions.

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality, quality, quality: never waver from it, even when you don't see how you can afford to keep it up. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality, quality, quality: never waver from it, even when you don't see how you can afford to keep it up.

He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But thou shall flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements,  The wrecks of matter, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57266]]></link><description><![CDATA[But thou shall flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements,  The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse.
