Yet with his best thought, and largest opportunity, and the application of his highest ability, he cannot penetrate far. But the Christ of God unfolds both its meaning, and its order. He shows that the goal is freedom, and the guidance love. In this way Christ appears direct to the spirit of man, not by its special acquirements, or special ability, but through its common needs and common tasks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've negotiated long and hard with both players.

For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60769]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[will significantly lessen the risk of large media companies finding themselves in the situation that Time Inc. found itself in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34940]]></link><description><![CDATA[will significantly lessen the risk of large media companies finding themselves in the situation that Time Inc. found itself in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards. -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logics will get you from A to B, Imagination will take you everywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logics will get you from A to B, Imagination will take you everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Employers recognize that the value in tying awards to performance, as opposed to the holidays, better connects employees to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Employers recognize that the value in tying awards to performance, as opposed to the holidays, better connects employees to the company's goals and objectives, eliminates 'entitlement' issues, and leads to increased productivity and improved business results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find an aim in life before you run out of ammunition. -Arnold Glasow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Find an aim in life before you run out of ammunition. -Arnold Glasow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Originality provokes originality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Originality provokes originality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only cure retail but you can prevent wholesale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56962]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only cure retail but you can prevent wholesale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26620]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person that knows you for who you are exactly, a person that accepts what you have become and never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62881]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person that knows you for who you are exactly, a person that accepts what you have become and never judges you, and allows for you to grow and helps you along the way is a friend  that you should keep around for a lifetime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Portia:) A quarrel ho! already!
