Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we begin with certainties, we shall end in doubts; but if we begin with doubts, and are patient in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5462]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we begin with certainties, we shall end in doubts; but if we begin with doubts, and are patient in them, we shall end in certainties.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your courtyard twists, do not pour the water abroad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5700]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your courtyard twists, do not pour the water abroad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Busy, curious, thirsty fly, Drink with me and drink as I!  Freely welcome to my cup,   Could'st ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Busy, curious, thirsty fly, Drink with me and drink as I!  Freely welcome to my cup,   Could'st thou sip and sip it up;    Make the most of life you may;     Life is short and wears away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We couldn't be happier with the success of the Gen 2 demonstration.

This is a synthesis of New Testament grace and Old Testament ethics. With this synthesis, Protestants have solved the problem of finding a gracious God, but they have not solved the problem of finding gracious neighbors. They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24218]]></link><description><![CDATA[A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The district was closed after the village informed me there were breaks in the water system and the Health Department ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37122]]></link><description><![CDATA[The district was closed after the village informed me there were breaks in the water system and the Health Department said our buildings were unsafe for water production.

It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14466]]></link><description><![CDATA[And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy, to which th' ignoble mind's a slave, Is emulation in the learn'd or brave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy, to which th' ignoble mind's a slave, Is emulation in the learn'd or brave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For them to begin to see [the agency] as a more positive presence in the communities - that's huge progress. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42526]]></link><description><![CDATA[For them to begin to see [the agency] as a more positive presence in the communities - that's huge progress.

The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and dignity cannot share the same abode. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love and dignity cannot share the same abode.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12301]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men who succeed are the efficient few.
