The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His voice was intimate as the rustle of sheets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60933]]></link><description><![CDATA[His voice was intimate as the rustle of sheets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man was laughed at as a blunderer who said in a public business: "we do much for posterity; I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47845]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man was laughed at as a blunderer who said in a public business: "we do much for posterity; I would fain see them do something for us."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man that heweth over high, Some chip falleth in his eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48599]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man that heweth over high, Some chip falleth in his eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As civilization advances, poetry almost necessarily declines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63832]]></link><description><![CDATA[As civilization advances, poetry almost necessarily declines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God comes to the hungry in the form of food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21098]]></link><description><![CDATA[God comes to the hungry in the form of food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I try to approach each game the same, just with a blue-collar mentality, and sometimes I get into foul trouble. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37030]]></link><description><![CDATA[I try to approach each game the same, just with a blue-collar mentality, and sometimes I get into foul trouble.
