Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good intentions are not good enough.......... ultimately we are measured by our actions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good intentions are not good enough.......... ultimately we are measured by our actions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are men who would quickly love each other if once they were speak to each other; for when they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9054]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are men who would quickly love each other if once they were speak to each other; for when they spoke they would discover that their souls had only separated by phantoms and delusions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you want to fool the world, tell the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2208]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money will not buy happiness, but it will let you be unhappy in nice places. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money will not buy happiness, but it will let you be unhappy in nice places.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity is my favourite sin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity is my favourite sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music doesn't lie.

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With men all is impossible; but with God all things are possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48589]]></link><description><![CDATA[With men all is impossible; but with God all things are possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A smiling face is half the meal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51880]]></link><description><![CDATA[A smiling face is half the meal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final war will be between Pavlov's dog and Schoedinger's Cat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61157]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final war will be between Pavlov's dog and Schoedinger's Cat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51983]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a good contrast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30681]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a good contrast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a hopeful cynic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10967]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a hopeful cynic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62472]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3162]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56343]]></link><description><![CDATA[My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told him it was a great idea and he has taken on that commitment, ...
