And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning -- and some of them many times over -- what do you find? That you can swim? Well -- life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first two years we'll probably take 10 because we want to build a nice foundation.

Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's critical that as the host nation, Canadian athletes have spectacular results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31224]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's critical that as the host nation, Canadian athletes have spectacular results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put your talent into your work, but your genius into your life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Put your talent into your work, but your genius into your life]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy am I; from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy am I; from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is doing and accomplishing a lot of things that haven't been done in his family before.
