And how absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of Kings, who, when he has opened his sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in him. If they command anything against him, let it go unesteemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behind every successful man lurks a truly amazed ex-mother-in-law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behind every successful man lurks a truly amazed ex-mother-in-law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want.

Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I want back is what I wasBefore the bed, before the knife,Before the brooch-pin and the salveFixed me in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26897]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I want back is what I wasBefore the bed, before the knife,Before the brooch-pin and the salveFixed me in this parenthesis;Horses fluent in the wind,A place, a time gone out of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk.

It is the untroubled that are in danger. Trouble in itself is always a claim on love, and God is love. He must deny Himself if He does not come to help the helpless. It is the prisoners, and the blind, and the leper, and the possessed, and the hungry, and the tempest-tossed, who are His special care. Therefore if you are lost and sick and bound, you are just in the place where He can meet you. Blessed are the mourners. They shall be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In fact, you could argue that the money for these machines could come out of the 2006/07 budget because that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38680]]></link><description><![CDATA[In fact, you could argue that the money for these machines could come out of the 2006/07 budget because that's when they're going to be put to full use, but the district decided we wanted to get them into teachers hands now to give them a jump on the learning curve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47906]]></link><description><![CDATA[The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Bible speaks of "following Jesus", it is proclaiming a discipleship which will liberate mankind from all man-made dogma, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8599]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Bible speaks of "following Jesus", it is proclaiming a discipleship which will liberate mankind from all man-made dogma, from every burden and oppression, from every anxiety and torture which afflicts the conscience. If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's nice have to have a name for the park.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that makes a thing too fine, breakes it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that makes a thing too fine, breakes it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence.
