This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11061]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, Eugénie, have done with virtues!

Born in a manger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a spiritual empire which embraces one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. There never was in this world a life so unpretending, modest, and lowly in its outward form and condition, and yet producing such extraordinary effects upon all ages, nations, and classes of men. The annals of history produce no other example of such complete and astonishing success in spite of the absence of those material, social, literary, and artistic powers and influences which are indispensable to success for a mere man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said if (the U.S. team) loses, he can say he did his best and that he was prepared for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35852]]></link><description><![CDATA[He said if (the U.S. team) loses, he can say he did his best and that he was prepared for it.

You may split it into different parts if you'd like - right now I'll put it as Unsorted. And He feels so incredibly weak when he has ferociously quarreled against them since his genuine years and has lost. His hopes for a better understanding dissipate as he grows older, and his mind grows less eager to reach a verdict. Having no sense of direction, he roams here, looking above, asking futile questions, even though the answers may be feared. Good by nature, he has learned his survival skills, which will lead him into the real world, and will someday make him a successful individual. Wishing the pressure did not exist, it is a natural instinct to adapt and not to recluse. He rather is a mindless drone than a lonely Hermit, after all. He has no control over his environment, it is the exact opposite. Molded and shaped by his surroundings, he seeks about for himself and his purpose, while this mold slowly deteriorates organic matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall speak facts; but some will say I deal in fiction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50730]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall speak facts; but some will say I deal in fiction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was the guy I looked up to, that I wanted to be like, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30254]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was the guy I looked up to, that I wanted to be like,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have informed Sam I am taking up the option on the second year of his contract.
