It is the ability to make decisions and choicesand to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather thanto be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developedthrough the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how touse this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11221]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5475]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/976]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My favoured temple is in an humble heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19029]]></link><description><![CDATA[My favoured temple is in an humble heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance. - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance. - The Art of Worldy Wisdom, 1647.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A big part of leadership is just being comfortable with the fact that some decisions really are only yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66581]]></link><description><![CDATA[A big part of leadership is just being comfortable with the fact that some decisions really are only yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason, Observation, and Experience -- the Holy Trinity of Science. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason, Observation, and Experience -- the Holy Trinity of Science.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I take to-day a wife, and my election Is led on in the conduct of my will--  My will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61606]]></link><description><![CDATA[I take to-day a wife, and my election Is led on in the conduct of my will--  My will enkindled my by mine and ears   Two traded pilots 'twixt the dangerous shores    Of will and judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deeper than e'er plummet sounded. -The Tempest.

No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little.
