It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Day one was a bit of a disaster and to come back and win a gold after that was just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Day one was a bit of a disaster and to come back and win a gold after that was just unbelievable.

Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63259]]></link><description><![CDATA[To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People in their 40s and 50s are saving for their kids and for their retirement.
