The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last night the very gods showed me a vision-- I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus:  I saw Jove's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Last night the very gods showed me a vision-- I fast and prayed for their intelligence--thus:  I saw Jove's bird, the Roman eagle, winged   From the spongy south to this part of the west,    There vanished in the sunbeams; which portends,     Unless my sins abuse my divination,      Success to th' Roman host.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognises genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognises genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our children are our most precious thing.
