Their sublime deeds of faith, daring, and self-sacrifice usually spring from questionable motives. The weak hate not wickedness but weakness; and one instance of their hatred of weakness is hatred of self. All the passionate pursuits of the weak are in some degree a striving to escape, blur, or disguise an unwanted self. It is a striving shot through with malice, envy, self-deception, and a host of petty impulses; yet it often culminates in superb achievements.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When treading London's well-known ground If e'er I feel my spirits tire,  I haul my sail, look up around, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12982]]></link><description><![CDATA[When treading London's well-known ground If e'er I feel my spirits tire,  I haul my sail, look up around,   In search of Whitbread's best entire.   - Unattributed Author,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lost time is never found again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lost time is never found again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/657]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23920]]></link><description><![CDATA[We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;  Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three women make a market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three women make a market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All weddings, except those with shotguns in evidence, are wonderful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61493]]></link><description><![CDATA[All weddings, except those with shotguns in evidence, are wonderful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the intelligence of the heart ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the intelligence of the heart]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is not magnetic personality — that can just as well be a glib tongue.
