But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is anomalous to hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46882]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is anomalous to hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is in his mind, but can extract what is in his stomach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5954]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[if this night is all we have, we'll let sunrise wait for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45653]]></link><description><![CDATA[if this night is all we have, we'll let sunrise wait for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

By Love alone He liveth and feeleth in other persons. By Love alone He enjoyeth all the creatures, by Love alone He is pleasing to Himself, by Love alone He is rich and blessed. The Soul is shrivelled up and buried in a grave that does not love. But that which does love wisely and truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of Heaven, and the Friend of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, a spirit is such a little, little thing, that I have heard man, who was a great scholar, say ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, a spirit is such a little, little thing, that I have heard man, who was a great scholar, say that he'll dance ye a hornpipe upon the point of a needle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe there is no sentiment he has such faith in as that charity begins at home" And his, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5711]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe there is no sentiment he has such faith in as that charity begins at home" And his, I presume., is of that domestic sort which never stirs abroad at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in a valley, surrounded by mountains, and the playing field gets dark very quickly in the fall.

They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We see it every day in our economy.

And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test. Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune, delighting in her cruel task, and playing her wanton game untiringly, is ever shifting her uncertain favours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune, delighting in her cruel task, and playing her wanton game untiringly, is ever shifting her uncertain favours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The annual Congress is also an opportunity to renew the friendship that we, ACI members worldwide, have built through the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39075]]></link><description><![CDATA[The annual Congress is also an opportunity to renew the friendship that we, ACI members worldwide, have built through the years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, sweet thy current by town and by tower, The green sunny vale and the dark linden bower;  Thy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, sweet thy current by town and by tower, The green sunny vale and the dark linden bower;  Thy waves as they dimple smile back on the plain,   And Rhine, ancient river, thou'rt German again!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often students are given answers to remember, rather than problems to solve ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often students are given answers to remember, rather than problems to solve]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Junior Blind Olympics provides an inspirational opportunity for blind and visually impaired children to challenge their abilities, surmount sight ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37447]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Junior Blind Olympics provides an inspirational opportunity for blind and visually impaired children to challenge their abilities, surmount sight barriers and achieve their dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two great things you can give your children: one isroots, the other is wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two great things you can give your children: one isroots, the other is wings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not a struggle.
