Bergson   Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out . . . People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. •Eleanor H. Porter   The bigger a man's head gets, the easier it is to fill his shoes. •Henry Courtney   A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind. •Leonardo Da Vinci   A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye. •Carolyn Wells   Craftiness is a quality in the mind and a vice in the character. •S.

This power becomes available to you just as you can change your beliefs. •Maxwell Maltz  Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. •Source Unknown   The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not discreetly how to use it. •Michel de Montaigne  If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. •Lyall Watson  Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace. •Elbert Hubbard  The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. •Colin Wilson   Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the end of a generation that remade and saved baseball in Seattle.

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much in love with himself, and that too without a rival! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48840]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much in love with himself, and that too without a rival!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58173]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691  Each of us individually has risen into moral life from a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691  Each of us individually has risen into moral life from a mode of being which was purely natural; in other words, each of us also has fallen -- fallen, presumably in ways determined by his natural constitution, yet certainly, as conscience assures us, in ways for which we are morally answerable, and to which, in the moral constitution of the world, consequences attach which we must recognise as our due.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37023]]></link><description><![CDATA[When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best smell in the world is that man that you love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5396]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best smell in the world is that man that you love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew I had to come out in the second half and help my team out.
