He judged no man; yet if He judged, His judgments were just. He proclaimed none worthless, none hopeless. Yet men were continually being judged by their relations to Him. The result was infallible, because men judged themselves. Those who loved the light came to Him, those who rejected Him showed that they desired to walk in darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The same dish cooked over and over again wears out the irksome life of the teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50506]]></link><description><![CDATA[The same dish cooked over and over again wears out the irksome life of the teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11078]]></link><description><![CDATA[The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no question Blagojevich is vulnerable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33403]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no question Blagojevich is vulnerable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a blow-out quarter, they did an incredible job.

And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quiet mind cureth all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56292]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quiet mind cureth all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry -- a God, invisible but omnipotent.
