Take from me all slothfulness, and give me a diligent and an active spirit, and wisdom to choose my employment; that I may do works proportionable to my person and to the dignity of a Christian, and may fill up all the spaces of my time with actions of religion and charity; that, when the devil assaults me, he may not find me idle; and my dearest Lord, at his sudden coming, may find me busy in lawful, necessary, and pious actions, improving my talent entrusted to me by thee, my Lord; that I may enter into the joy of my Lord, to partake of his eternal felicities, even for thy mercy's sake, and for my dearest Saviour's sake. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque fomes omnium malorum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Misfortune shows those who are not really friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18371]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In 2001, our overseas sales overtook domestic sales.

We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our inventions mirror our secret wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every recreant who proved his timidity in the hour of danger, was afterwards boldest in words and tongue. [Lat., Ignavissimus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every recreant who proved his timidity in the hour of danger, was afterwards boldest in words and tongue. [Lat., Ignavissimus quisque, et ut res docuit, in periculo non ausurus, nimis verbis et lingua feroces.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is merit without elevation, but there is no elevation without some merit. [Fr., Il y a du merite sans ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27388]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is merit without elevation, but there is no elevation without some merit. [Fr., Il y a du merite sans elevation mais il n'y a point d'elevation sans quelque merite.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26524]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of substantial psychiatric problems are actually starting and are identifiable much earlier than we ever thought, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28459]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of substantial psychiatric problems are actually starting and are identifiable much earlier than we ever thought,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you believe that discrimination exists, it will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12465]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence.
