When you make a choice, you mobilizevast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped. All toooften people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore theirchoices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seemspossible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,and all that is left is a compromise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing's new, and nothing's true, and nothing matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing's new, and nothing's true, and nothing matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The planet is fine.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64137]]></link><description><![CDATA[O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26854]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is great literature and great religious literature, this collection of ancient writings we call the Bible, and any translator ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is great literature and great religious literature, this collection of ancient writings we call the Bible, and any translator has a deep sense of responsibility as he undertakes to transmit it to modern readers. He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They, the holy ones and weakly, Who the cross of suffering bore,  Folded their pale hands so meekly,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58203]]></link><description><![CDATA[They, the holy ones and weakly, Who the cross of suffering bore,  Folded their pale hands so meekly,   Spake with us on earth no more!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You ask: what is the meaning or purpose of life?

If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59215</guid></item></channel></rss>
