Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maturity is the time of life when, if you had the time, you'd have the time of your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is the time of life when, if you had the time, you'd have the time of your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In great pedigrees there are Governours and Chandlers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49541]]></link><description><![CDATA[In great pedigrees there are Governours and Chandlers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goethe said, 'Talent is developed in privacy, ' you know?And it's really true.

For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the shorthand of emotion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the shorthand of emotion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63272]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can no more give what you haven't learned than you can come back from a place you've never been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17511]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can no more give what you haven't learned than you can come back from a place you've never been.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a great man's influence never ends, so also there is not definite finality, no end, to a great survey; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32004]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a great man's influence never ends, so also there is not definite finality, no end, to a great survey; it runs along for centuries, ever responsive to the strain of the increasing needs of a growing population and an enlarging domain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees,  And shape the whisper of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57853]]></link><description><![CDATA[And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees,  And shape the whisper of the throne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65915]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your house is really a mess and a stranger comes to the door greet him with, "Who could have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19920]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your house is really a mess and a stranger comes to the door greet him with, "Who could have done this?
