Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this age of the rule of brute force, it is almost impossible for anyone to believe that any one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16447]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this age of the rule of brute force, it is almost impossible for anyone to believe that any one else could possibly reject the law of the final supremacy of brute force.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth is well known to be a great comforter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every era has a currency that buys souls.

One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt like these days, people are building silos in their lives.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No radiant pearl, which crested Fortune wears, No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's wars.  Not the bright stars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58795]]></link><description><![CDATA[No radiant pearl, which crested Fortune wears, No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's wars.  Not the bright stars which Night's blue arch adorn,   Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn,    Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows     Down Virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36267]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows not how to dissimulate, can not reign. [Fr., Qui ne sait dissimuler, ne sait regner.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54482]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows not how to dissimulate, can not reign. [Fr., Qui ne sait dissimuler, ne sait regner.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is originality?
