This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may conquer with a sword but you are conquered by a kiss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23849]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may conquer with a sword but you are conquered by a kiss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Online poker has served as a learning platform for many players who have now started to take part in poker ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Online poker has served as a learning platform for many players who have now started to take part in poker tournaments in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and elsewhere.

Just as if He had said: "Thou hatest me, and art mine enemy, yet I love thee, and am thy friend." ... As though God in human nature were saying: "I am pure, simple goodness, and therefore I cannot will or desire or rejoice in, or do or give anything but goodness. If I am to reward thee for thy evil and wickedness, I must do it with goodness, for I am and have nothing else."   ... Theologia Germanica  June 7, 2002   Some will not believe in miracles because the laws of nature work uniformly. But their uniformity is undisturbed by human operations; the will of man wields, without cancelling, these mighty forces which surround us: and why may not the will of God do the same?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to learn to adjust to opposing teams tactics.

But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed; Give us courage to change what should be changed; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55194]]></link><description><![CDATA[God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed; Give us courage to change what should be changed; Give us the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When iron scourge, and tort'ring hour The bad affright, afflict the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53816]]></link><description><![CDATA[When iron scourge, and tort'ring hour The bad affright, afflict the best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't anticipate any workforce impact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37584]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't anticipate any workforce impact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general those who nothing have to say Contrive to spend the longest time in doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58617]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general those who nothing have to say Contrive to spend the longest time in doing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart asks pleasure first, And then, excuse from pain;  And then, those little anodynes   That deaden ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19046]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart asks pleasure first, And then, excuse from pain;  And then, those little anodynes   That deaden suffering;    And then, to go to sleep;     And then, if it should be      The will of its Inquisitor,       The liberty to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10084]]></link><description><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've seen the Rhine with younger wave, O'er every obstacle to rave.  I see the Rhine in his native ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54194]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've seen the Rhine with younger wave, O'er every obstacle to rave.  I see the Rhine in his native wild   Is still a mighty mountain child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are, of course, several things in Ontario that are more dangerous than wolves.
