There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642  We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642  We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence; but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to color everything we do.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mysteries are not necessarily miracles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29731]]></link><description><![CDATA[When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A careless shoe string, in whose tie I see a wilde civility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56213]]></link><description><![CDATA[A careless shoe string, in whose tie I see a wilde civility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After my injury, it could have gone either way, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37370]]></link><description><![CDATA[After my injury, it could have gone either way,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These two teams match up well.

Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Watch out when you're getting all you want.
