In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21733]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The farm is an example of traditional, blended with technology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39383]]></link><description><![CDATA[The farm is an example of traditional, blended with technology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only meaning of life worth caring about is one that can withstand our best efforts to examine it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56965]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only meaning of life worth caring about is one that can withstand our best efforts to examine it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a great sale.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With silence only as their benediction, God's angels come  Where in the shadow of a great affliction,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1667]]></link><description><![CDATA[With silence only as their benediction, God's angels come  Where in the shadow of a great affliction,   The soul sits dumb!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Europeans need to show real flexibility on market access, ...
