Look right, look left, I dwell alone; I lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me. My life is like a faded leaf, My harvest dwindled to a husk: Truly my life is void and brief And tedious in the barren dusk; My life is like a frozen thing, No bud nor greenness can I see: Yet rise it shall--the sap of spring; O Jesus, rise in me. My life is like a broken bowl, A broken bowl that cannot hold One drop of water for my soul Or cordial in the searching cold; Cast in the fire the perished thing; Melt and remould it, till it be A royal cup for Him, my King: O Jesus, drink of me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43716]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is possessed with a prejudice is possessed with a devil, and one of the worst kinds of devils, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48108]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is possessed with a prejudice is possessed with a devil, and one of the worst kinds of devils, for it shuts out the truth, and often leads to ruinous error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now the good gods forbid That our renowned Rome, whose gratitude  Towards her deserved children is enrolled   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the good gods forbid That our renowned Rome, whose gratitude  Towards her deserved children is enrolled   In Jove's own book, like an unnatural dam    Should now eat up her own!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27316]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen to the Water-Mill: Through the live-long day  How the clicking of its wheel   Wears the hours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen to the Water-Mill: Through the live-long day  How the clicking of its wheel   Wears the hours away!    Languidly the Autumn wind     Stirs the forest leaves,      From the field the reapers sing       Binding up their sheaves:        And a proverb haunts my mind         As a spell is cast,          "The mill cannot grind           With the water that is past."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We pay for it from the student activity fee and the regular CRC budget process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33083]]></link><description><![CDATA[We pay for it from the student activity fee and the regular CRC budget process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the water is below the pickup tube, then it picks up the phase-separated layer of ethanol, water and gasoline, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33798]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the water is below the pickup tube, then it picks up the phase-separated layer of ethanol, water and gasoline, and the engine will run very poorly, if at all, on that mixture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Access to cash is paramount now.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62021]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. -Salvor Hardin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. -Salvor Hardin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65857]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In jalousie I rede eek thou hym bynde And thou shalt make him couche as doeth a quaille. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52620]]></link><description><![CDATA[In jalousie I rede eek thou hym bynde And thou shalt make him couche as doeth a quaille.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17952]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to move the whole monument, it would have crumbled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42038]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to move the whole monument, it would have crumbled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many of life's circumstances are created by three basic choices: the disciplines you choose to keep, the people you choose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many of life's circumstances are created by three basic choices: the disciplines you choose to keep, the people you choose to be with; and, the laws you choose to obey]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It gives them an incentive to market the film aggressively to their constituents.

It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Threatned men eat bread, says the Spaniard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Threatned men eat bread, says the Spaniard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature goes her own way and all that to us seems an exception is reallyaccording to order. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature goes her own way and all that to us seems an exception is reallyaccording to order.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21428</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[We are all in this together, by ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60157]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all in this together, by ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15767]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[F]ew things loves better Than to abhor himself-- . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15]]></link><description><![CDATA[[F]ew things loves better Than to abhor himself-- . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In ways and thoughts of weakness and of wrong, Threads turn to cords, and cords to cables strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18539]]></link><description><![CDATA[In ways and thoughts of weakness and of wrong, Threads turn to cords, and cords to cables strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18539</guid></item></channel></rss>
