Take from me all slothfulness, and give me a diligent and an active spirit, and wisdom to choose my employment; that I may do works proportionable to my person and to the dignity of a Christian, and may fill up all the spaces of my time with actions of religion and charity; that, when the devil assaults me, he may not find me idle; and my dearest Lord, at his sudden coming, may find me busy in lawful, necessary, and pious actions, improving my talent entrusted to me by thee, my Lord; that I may enter into the joy of my Lord, to partake of his eternal felicities, even for thy mercy's sake, and for my dearest Saviour's sake. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a huge risk taker...

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9839]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To offer the complexities of life as an excuse for not addressing oneself to the simpler, more manageable (trivial) aspects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14461]]></link><description><![CDATA[To offer the complexities of life as an excuse for not addressing oneself to the simpler, more manageable (trivial) aspects of daily existence is a perversity often indulged in by artists, husbands, intellectuals -- and critics of the Women's Movement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... government that "substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11894]]></link><description><![CDATA[... government that "substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God complaines not, but doth what is fitting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49268]]></link><description><![CDATA[God complaines not, but doth what is fitting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh she's nice, she's kind, innocent too.
