What is the reason that so many in our days set their hands to the plough, and looked back again? -- begin to serve Providence in great things, but cannot finish? -- give over in the heat of the day? They never had any such revelation of the mind of God upon their spirits, such a discovery of His excellence, as might serve for a bottom of such undertakings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A relationship is only complicated when one person is running it... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62940]]></link><description><![CDATA[A relationship is only complicated when one person is running it...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was in a weird head space, I was not myself, for sure.

One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away,  The earth goes down into a vale of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away,  The earth goes down into a vale of grief,   And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables,    Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay--     Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest weapon that one can have is a simple...smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65700]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest weapon that one can have is a simple...smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can miss one player, but it's tough when you're missing four. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42692]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can miss one player, but it's tough when you're missing four.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I came out here with one suit and everybody said I looked like a bum.
