The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most ominous of fallacies--the belief that things can be kept static by inaction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most ominous of fallacies--the belief that things can be kept static by inaction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lucy, Martyr at Syracuse, 304 Commemoration of Samuel Johnson, Writer, Moralist, 1784   O God, Who hast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lucy, Martyr at Syracuse, 304 Commemoration of Samuel Johnson, Writer, Moralist, 1784   O God, Who hast ordained that whatever is to be desired, should be sought by labor, and Who, by Thy blessing, bringest honest labor to good effect; look with mercy upon my studies and endeavors.

That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make ducks and drakes with shillings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make ducks and drakes with shillings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A throne is only a bench covered with velvet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66431]]></link><description><![CDATA[A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, it's an unambiguous positive.
