A man is too apt to forget that in this world he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left to him. Better bend than break. Never swap horses while crossing a stream.Why not upset the apple cart? If you don't, the apples will rot anyway. There is never time to do it right, but there is always time to do it over. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Fail to plan, plan to fail. -Carl W. Buechner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935]]></link><description><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so contagious as an example.

What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers.
