Shrinking from any deep self-scrutiny is by no means an uncommon thing, and often goes far to explain the feverish restlessness with which a world-loving heart plunges into perpetual rounds of gaieties and dissipations; they serve as an escape from troublesome questions about the soul, and help to get rid of the clamours of conscience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The impenetrable stupidity of Prince George (son-in-law of James II) served his turn.

Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts...

Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate leads the willing and drags along the unwilling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate leads the willing and drags along the unwilling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your pianos travel with you.
