This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2422]]></link><description><![CDATA[I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951  One can give without loving, but one cannot love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951  One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To throw a young kid still unsure of himself into a situation like that, I didn't think that was fair ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35362]]></link><description><![CDATA[To throw a young kid still unsure of himself into a situation like that, I didn't think that was fair to anybody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47270]]></link><description><![CDATA[The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not good to make sentimental journeys.

Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How hard it is, sometimes, to trust the evidence of one's senses!
