It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold him alone truly fortunate who has ended his life in happy well-being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold him alone truly fortunate who has ended his life in happy well-being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cares that flutter batlike round fretted roofs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50333]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cares that flutter batlike round fretted roofs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When great poets sing, Into the night new constellations spring,  With music in the air that dulls the craft ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55314]]></link><description><![CDATA[When great poets sing, Into the night new constellations spring,  With music in the air that dulls the craft   Of rhetoric.

Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them... Listening can be a greater service than speaking... One who cannot listen long and patiently will presently be talking beside the point and be never really speaking to others. Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich man in his castle, / The poor man at his gate, / God made them, high or lowly, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31242]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich man in his castle, / The poor man at his gate, / God made them, high or lowly, / And ordered their estate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20768]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the toughest golfer mentally. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57759]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the toughest golfer mentally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him whose? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61436]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is pleasant, when the sea runs high, to view from land the great distress of another. [Lat., Suave mari ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42809]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is pleasant, when the sea runs high, to view from land the great distress of another. [Lat., Suave mari magno, turbantibus aequora ventis  E terra magnum alterius spectare laborum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A minister who moves about in society is in a position to read the signs of the times even in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46946]]></link><description><![CDATA[A minister who moves about in society is in a position to read the signs of the times even in a festive gathering, but one who remains shut up in his office learns nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that hath one foot in the straw, hath another in the spittle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49357]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath one foot in the straw, hath another in the spittle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affliction is enamoured of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affliction is enamoured of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The play was a great success but the audience was a disaster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/448]]></link><description><![CDATA[The play was a great success but the audience was a disaster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8818]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He played awesome.

For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach Smith and I have very similar ideas as far as schematics go, I think we compliment one another as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coach Smith and I have very similar ideas as far as schematics go, I think we compliment one another as coaches very well.
