You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very often the quiet fellow has said all he knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Very often the quiet fellow has said all he knows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22969]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak in public.

It would assuredly make a difference if Christians, in their approach one to another, realized that, in spite of appearances, they were in fact one. If, in their seeking after external reunion, they realized that they were seeking not to create a unity which does not yet exist, but to find an expression for a unity which does exist, which is indeed the one elemental reality, they would approach one another in a better frame of mind. The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apes do it.
