Hardness is the one impossible thing. Harshness to others in those who ask and need the mercy of God sets up a conflict at the very heart of personality and shuts the door upon grace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink- drop soileth the pure white page. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15428]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink- drop soileth the pure white page.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With me a change of trouble is as good as a vacation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60444]]></link><description><![CDATA[With me a change of trouble is as good as a vacation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is sitting on their hands.

A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.

It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have all the respect in the world for Franklin, they are very tough to beat at home and they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34669]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have all the respect in the world for Franklin, they are very tough to beat at home and they always play us hard.
