He thought that in her eyes he would ascent to an angelical stature; and, as he attached the fervent nature of his companion more and more closely to him, he heard the strange impersonal voice which he recognised as his own, insisting on the soul's incurable lonliness.

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought.

Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it!

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one should drive a hard bargain with an artist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3362]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one should drive a hard bargain with an artist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26475]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cholesterol in and of itself isn't harmful; it's an integral part of the normal function of our body, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cholesterol in and of itself isn't harmful; it's an integral part of the normal function of our body,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Detective stories are the art-for-art's sake of yawning Philistinism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Detective stories are the art-for-art's sake of yawning Philistinism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Starred forget-me-nots smile sweetly, Ring, bluebells, ring!  Winning eye and heart completely,   Sing, robin, sing!   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Starred forget-me-nots smile sweetly, Ring, bluebells, ring!  Winning eye and heart completely,   Sing, robin, sing!    All among the reeds and rushes,     Where the brook its music hushes,      Bright the caloposon blushes,__       Laugh, O murmuring Spring!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come to the edge, he said.
