It is far more becoming to go straight forward. The young Crab replied: Quite true, dear Mother; and if you will show me the straight way, I will promise to walk in it. The Mother tried in vain, and submitted without remonstrance to the reproof of her child. Example is more powerful than precept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power tires only those who do not have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power tires only those who do not have it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our faith and our friendships are not shattered by one big act, but by many small neglects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our faith and our friendships are not shattered by one big act, but by many small neglects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is the exact opposite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4099]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is the exact opposite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the First Amendment, people have the right to petition the government.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43549]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25394]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With love and patience, nothing is impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20664]]></link><description><![CDATA[With love and patience, nothing is impossible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many plays-certainly mine-are like blank checks.

In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average child is an almost non- existent myth.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steps with a tender foot, light as on air, The lovely, lordly creature floated on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Steps with a tender foot, light as on air, The lovely, lordly creature floated on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's what we like.
