The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we never blushed before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4375]]></link><description><![CDATA[We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we never blushed before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones.

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What nature wants, commodious gold bestows; 'Tis thus we cut the bread another sows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17781]]></link><description><![CDATA[What nature wants, commodious gold bestows; 'Tis thus we cut the bread another sows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And you, brave Cobham! to the latest breath Shall feel your ruling passion strong in death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45609]]></link><description><![CDATA[And you, brave Cobham! to the latest breath Shall feel your ruling passion strong in death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have added metal eyelets and a self-strap closure with buckle and grommet and an inside moisture wicking sweatband. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37136]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have added metal eyelets and a self-strap closure with buckle and grommet and an inside moisture wicking sweatband.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37136</guid></item></channel></rss>
