To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   To worship effectively is to enable men to become free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   To worship effectively is to enable men to become free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not a speed reader.

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[Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  To worship is to quicken ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, and to devote the will to the purpose of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21534]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up.
