But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gray eye is a sly eye, And roguish is a brown one;  Turn full upon me thy eye,-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14816]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gray eye is a sly eye, And roguish is a brown one;  Turn full upon me thy eye,--   Ah, how its wavelets drown one!    A blue eye is a true eye;     Mysterious is a dark one,      Which flashes like a spark-sun!       A black eye is the best one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Ye have enemies; for who can live on this earth without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Ye have enemies; for who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942    There is [in these Wesleyan hymns] ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942    There is [in these Wesleyan hymns] the solid structure of historic dogma; there is the passionate thrill of present experience; but there is, too, the glory of a mystic sunlight coming directly from another world. This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us put theology out of religion.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields which have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields which have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The union of a sect within itself is a pitiful charity; it's no concord of Christians, but a conspiracy against ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7539]]></link><description><![CDATA[The union of a sect within itself is a pitiful charity; it's no concord of Christians, but a conspiracy against Christ; and they that love one another for their opinionative concurrence, love for their own sakes, not their Lord's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Witty remarks are all very well when spoken at a proper time: when out of place they are offensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Witty remarks are all very well when spoken at a proper time: when out of place they are offensive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For 18 years I called games from the press box at Hilton Head (High School), and really I feel more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32759]]></link><description><![CDATA[For 18 years I called games from the press box at Hilton Head (High School), and really I feel more at home up there.
