We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honor is the moral conscience of the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honor is the moral conscience of the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29470]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output.
