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[As a coach, you hate to see your kids in pain and suffering a little bit.

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[Those who say they "sleep like a baby" haven't got one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who say they "sleep like a baby" haven't got one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It sounds like stories from the land of spirits, If any man obtain that which he merits,  Or any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27382]]></link><description><![CDATA[It sounds like stories from the land of spirits, If any man obtain that which he merits,  Or any merit that which he obtains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone.

It is only when we see ourselves as actors in a staged (and therefore unreal) performance that death loses its frightfulness and finality and becomes an act of make-believe and a theatrical gesture. It is one of the main tasks of a real leader to mask the grim reality of dying and killing by evoking in his followers the illusion that they are participating in a grandiose spectacle, a solemn or lighthearted dramatic performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   It is a rare campus indeed where the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   It is a rare campus indeed where the Christian universe of discourse is the shared basis of allegiance and the common currency of intellectual exchange.
