That being so, you might perhaps do one or two little things, as acts of love, and also as discipline. I suggest by preference the mortification of the tongue -- as being very tiresome and quite harmless to the health. Careful guard on all amusing criticisms of others, on all complaints however casual or trivial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be more specific. ...This year the show will lose $16 million for The WB, and that's with a license ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35284]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be more specific. ...This year the show will lose $16 million for The WB, and that's with a license fee reduction from last year.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world--so far, I mean, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57856]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world--so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it ca]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her.

If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wanted to tell a story of violence and intolerance but in a contemporary way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41429]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wanted to tell a story of violence and intolerance but in a contemporary way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48456]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to predict the future is to invent it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are certainly past the point where we need an increase, especially with the situation with how fuel has been. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39991]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are certainly past the point where we need an increase, especially with the situation with how fuel has been.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An understanding heart is everything is a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough.

His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dally not with mony or women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dally not with mony or women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend sees the good in everything, and brings out the best in the worst of things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21054]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend sees the good in everything, and brings out the best in the worst of things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21054</guid></item></channel></rss>
