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[Long jesting was never good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long jesting was never good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We talked about coming out and playing 32 minutes of solid basketball and I think we played 27 or 28 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34115]]></link><description><![CDATA[We talked about coming out and playing 32 minutes of solid basketball and I think we played 27 or 28 minutes very well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From this it appears how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword. [Lat., Hinc quam sit calamus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46014]]></link><description><![CDATA[From this it appears how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword. [Lat., Hinc quam sit calamus saevior euse, patet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it's important.
