Words shape thought, stir feeling, and beget action; they kill and revive, corrupt and cure.

By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27159]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters--from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19910]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters--from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer's telephone number--a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It could have been broken, but luckily it turned out to only be a sprain.

He is dead, dear Mother; for just now a very huge beast with four great feet came to the pool and crushed him to death with his cloven heel. The Frog, puffing herself out, inquired, if the beast was as big as that in size. Cease, Mother, to puff yourself out, said her son, and do not be angry; for you would, I assure you, sooner burst than successfully imitate the hugeness of that monster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think they just wrestled hard.
