The profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter. But worldly business is to be made holy unto the Lord, by being done as a service unto Him, and in conformity to His Divine will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many husbands today pitch in to help with household chores it's called partnership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many husbands today pitch in to help with household chores it's called partnership.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is contagious.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When this old cap was new 'Tis since two hundred years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2753]]></link><description><![CDATA[When this old cap was new 'Tis since two hundred years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So when Andy called, I asked him if he would mind waiting, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39310]]></link><description><![CDATA[So when Andy called, I asked him if he would mind waiting,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth men's minds to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds to religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53493]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth men's minds to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds to religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have done it by really knowing their customers better than perhaps probably any other food retailer, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34137]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have done it by really knowing their customers better than perhaps probably any other food retailer,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of us (perfectionists, especially) fuss so much over making the 'right' choice, but in life, all that's really needed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of us (perfectionists, especially) fuss so much over making the 'right' choice, but in life, all that's really needed is to make any' good' choice, believe in it, go through with it, and accept the consequences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After that first trout I was alone in there.

For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no mistakes.
