The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It's a girl. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14128]]></link><description><![CDATA[The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It's a girl.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My great concern is that the tax will not benefit anyone because trading activity will decrease and the revenue collected ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35877]]></link><description><![CDATA[My great concern is that the tax will not benefit anyone because trading activity will decrease and the revenue collected by the government will therefore fall as well, and the trading will go to other markets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45420]]></link><description><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the colors fade and blacken out of sight or the canvas rot entirely away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is stronger than habit. [Lat., Nil consuetudine majus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is stronger than habit. [Lat., Nil consuetudine majus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As wither'd roses yield a late perfume. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51546]]></link><description><![CDATA[As wither'd roses yield a late perfume.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All your renown is like the summer flower that blooms and dies; because the sunny glow which brings it forth, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15107]]></link><description><![CDATA[All your renown is like the summer flower that blooms and dies; because the sunny glow which brings it forth, soon slays with parching power. [It., La vostra nominanza e color d'erba,  Che viene e va; e quei la discolora   Per cui ell' esce della terra acerba.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was a little frustrated because she never should have had to slide.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend in need is a friend indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51064]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend in need is a friend indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While gripinge grefes ye hart would wounde, And dolefulle domps ye mynde oppresse,  There musicke with her silver sound, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48955]]></link><description><![CDATA[While gripinge grefes ye hart would wounde, And dolefulle domps ye mynde oppresse,  There musicke with her silver sound,   Is wont with spede to send redresse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . he who only or chiefly chose for Beauty, will in a little Time find the same Reason ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42069]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . he who only or chiefly chose for Beauty, will in a little Time find the same Reason for another Choice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bad man becomes worse when he apes a saint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51569]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bad man becomes worse when he apes a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common experience is the gold reserve which confers an exchange value on the currency which words are; without this reserve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common experience is the gold reserve which confers an exchange value on the currency which words are; without this reserve of shared experiences, all our pronouncements are checks drawn on insufficient funds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communication works for those who work at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Communication works for those who work at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can believe anything provided it is incredible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4050]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can believe anything provided it is incredible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as you know men are like children, you know everything! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66802]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34298]]></link><description><![CDATA[A play is fiction-and fiction is fact distilled into truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole race of scribblers flies from the town and yearns for country life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50358]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole race of scribblers flies from the town and yearns for country life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20371]]></link><description><![CDATA[He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many things which may not be uttered by men in threadbare coats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50514]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many things which may not be uttered by men in threadbare coats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a really unique opportunity to swim a huge river like this.

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking.

The Christian's faith in Christ is trust in a Living Person, once crucified, dead, and buried, and now living forevermore. Call it, if you will, an assumption that ends as an assurance, or an experiment that ends as an experience, Christian faith is in fact a commitment that ends as a communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6342</guid></item></channel></rss>
