There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object? -Confucius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object? -Confucius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the drivers, it will not change too much.

He must discipline himself not to act on problems his managers can solve, and never to act on problems when he is explicitly reviewing status.

That response is guaranteed to squelch full disclosure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44825]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13623]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency--clear disinterested thinking and fearless action along the right lines of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though;  He will not see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though;  He will not see me stopping here   To watch his woods fill up with snow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31385]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen to your own children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, frabjous day!

Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His demand Springs not from Edward's well-meant honest love,  Bur from deceit, bred by necessity;   For how ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59971]]></link><description><![CDATA[His demand Springs not from Edward's well-meant honest love,  Bur from deceit, bred by necessity;   For how can tyrants safely govern home    Unless abroad they purchase great alliance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see levels below 17,500 as very attractive for bargain-hunting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36555]]></link><description><![CDATA[I see levels below 17,500 as very attractive for bargain-hunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweet the task to shield an absent friend! I ask but this of mine to--not defend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48744]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweet the task to shield an absent friend! I ask but this of mine to--not defend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48744</guid></item></channel></rss>
