It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since you go where all have gone before, why do you torment your your disgraceful life with such mean ambitions, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since you go where all have gone before, why do you torment your your disgraceful life with such mean ambitions, O miser? [Lat., Abiturus illuc priores abierunt,  Quid mente caeca torques spiritum?   Tibi dico, avare.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaulteth not itself, is not puffed up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5693]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaulteth not itself, is not puffed up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Babylonish dialect Which learned pedants much affect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25120]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Babylonish dialect Which learned pedants much affect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[accomplished what we did this quarter in large part because of our no-late-fees program, not in spite of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38628]]></link><description><![CDATA[accomplished what we did this quarter in large part because of our no-late-fees program, not in spite of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though I felt like crying, I did my very best to smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even though I felt like crying, I did my very best to smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realize it's hard not to churn your problems and I'm not idealistically saying you shouldn't.

But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What loss feels he that wots not what he loses? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48679]]></link><description><![CDATA[What loss feels he that wots not what he loses?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man has a right to do what he pleases, except when he pleases to do right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54279]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man has a right to do what he pleases, except when he pleases to do right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45047]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real significance of crime is in its being a breach of faith with the community of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real significance of crime is in its being a breach of faith with the community of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,  Whose stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,   O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming;    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,     Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there!      Oh! say, does that star spangled banner yet wave,       O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to put out a unified message that downtown is working.
