They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: These Butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push.

Amen.   ... Collect for the first Sunday after Trinity, The Book of Common Prayer [1928]  July 8, 2002   Happily for us, the fundamental Christian message concerns not what we ought to do, but what God has done and what God is willing to do. In fellowship with Him and with others who are likewise trying to be like Him, we can be lifted up above our native possibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44873]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,  And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One foot in the grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18202]]></link><description><![CDATA[One foot in the grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42386]]></link><description><![CDATA[The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951  We, and all things, exist in God's lnfinitude now; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951  We, and all things, exist in God's lnfinitude now; our individuality begins with it; our personality grows strong because of it; and we know, if we know anything, that while the more we approach the good the more we please God, at the same time the more men approach the good the more nobly distinctive, the more beautifully individual do their characters become. To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought of the (Academy) bus, but I don't know what their prices are.
