But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our study, the women who were not previously exercising but then did what was out of the ordinary for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31788]]></link><description><![CDATA[In our study, the women who were not previously exercising but then did what was out of the ordinary for them, acute bursts of exercise, were at a slightly elevated risk of having sudden cardiac death while they exercised.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought it was the most exciting thing I had ever heard in my lifetime.

For my part, I cannot sufficiently bewail the Condition of the Reformed Churches, who are come to a Period in Religion and will go at present no farther than the instruments of their Reformation. The Lutheran can't be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things...

The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because all the sick do not recover, therefore medicine is not an art. [Lat., Aegri quia non omnes convalescunt, idcirco ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because all the sick do not recover, therefore medicine is not an art. [Lat., Aegri quia non omnes convalescunt, idcirco ars nulla medicina est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear of life is the favorite disease of the twentieth century. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fear of life is the favorite disease of the twentieth century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No work is of such merit as to instruct from a mere cursory perusal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51174]]></link><description><![CDATA[No work is of such merit as to instruct from a mere cursory perusal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now rather thank I God there is no riskOf gravers scoring it with florid screed.Let my inscription be this soldier's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now rather thank I God there is no riskOf gravers scoring it with florid screed.Let my inscription be this soldier's disc.Wear it, sweet friend.
