He was interested only in those emotions and professions which could get themselves translated into character and action. Words have always been the bane of religion as well as its vehicle. Religious emotion has enormous motive force, but it is the easiest thing in the world for it to sizzle away in high professions and wordy prayers. In that case, it is a substitute and counterfeit, and a damage to the Reign of God among men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are used as they use others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are used as they use others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44454]]></link><description><![CDATA[As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even when students graduate from universities, they are not able to fill the intellectual positions that need to be filled. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even when students graduate from universities, they are not able to fill the intellectual positions that need to be filled.

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, That two red fires in both faces blazed.  She thought he blushed as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4392]]></link><description><![CDATA[His kindled duty kindled her mistrust, That two red fires in both faces blazed.  She thought he blushed as knowing Tarquin's lust,   And, blushing with him, wistly on him gazed;    Her earnest eye did make him more amazed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On behalf of all of those who have a special place in their hearts for Vail Mountain, I would like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28403]]></link><description><![CDATA[On behalf of all of those who have a special place in their hearts for Vail Mountain, I would like to thank and congratulate the many law enforcement bodies who worked so hard over such a long period of time to find the individuals who are allegedly responsible for the shocking Vail arson in 1998.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Barry, to me, is head and shoulders above everybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41468]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Barry, to me, is head and shoulders above everybody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15588]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet knights will make this good, and prove it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is great force hidden in a sweet command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49952]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is great force hidden in a sweet command.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is maintained that a society is free only when dissenting minorities have room to throw their weight around.

For you must be well aware that if we make an outward show of conversion to God without giving Him our hearts, it is only a shadow and pretence of virtue, and no true conversion. Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll be glad for them to come to us, obviously.
