Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danny's the last of that generation of players that saved baseball in Seattle.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is HUGE! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23143]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is HUGE!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go big or go home.
