That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No well-informed person has declared a change of opinion to be inconstancy. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam mutationem consilii inconstantiam dixit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9871]]></link><description><![CDATA[No well-informed person has declared a change of opinion to be inconstancy. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam mutationem consilii inconstantiam dixit esse.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who mix'd reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth; If he had any faults, he has left us in doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who mix'd reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth; If he had any faults, he has left us in doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As many men, so many opinions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51734]]></link><description><![CDATA[As many men, so many opinions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We call it the ripple in a great big water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37537]]></link><description><![CDATA[We call it the ripple in a great big water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline is the soul of an army.
