This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57621]]></link><description><![CDATA[You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it; let him who has received one, proclaim it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it; let him who has received one, proclaim it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As pure as a pearl, And as perfect: a noble and innocent girl. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5791]]></link><description><![CDATA[As pure as a pearl, And as perfect: a noble and innocent girl.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43578]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27405]]></link><description><![CDATA[As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58513]]></link><description><![CDATA[But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they're going? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56170]]></link><description><![CDATA[When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they're going?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to persuade people is with your ears - by listening to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to persuade people is with your ears - by listening to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowardice ... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowardice ... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've analyzed the best I can ... and I have not found an impeachable offense, and therefore resignation is not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47310]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've analyzed the best I can ... and I have not found an impeachable offense, and therefore resignation is not an acceptable course.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just did a survey that showed.... something like 65 percent of the [American] people couldn't vote for the First ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47134]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just did a survey that showed.... something like 65 percent of the [American] people couldn't vote for the First Amendment if it was up for a vote today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O let not women's weapons, water-drops, Stain my man's cheeks! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51338]]></link><description><![CDATA[O let not women's weapons, water-drops, Stain my man's cheeks!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51338</guid></item></channel></rss>
