It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, on the dawn of victory, stopped to rest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19277]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, on the dawn of victory, stopped to rest and resting died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek but provision of bread and wine, fools to flatter, and clothing fine; and nothing of God shall ever be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek but provision of bread and wine, fools to flatter, and clothing fine; and nothing of God shall ever be thine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to be careful we don't do a lot of miles on Friday and Saturday and keep the engine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34885]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to be careful we don't do a lot of miles on Friday and Saturday and keep the engine safe for the race on Sunday,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am pleased to return to finish the job that is undone, ...

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How frighteningly few are the persons whose death would spoil our appetite and make the world seem empty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11224]]></link><description><![CDATA[How frighteningly few are the persons whose death would spoil our appetite and make the world seem empty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we don't change, we don't grow.

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14218]]></link><description><![CDATA[A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But even the Christian, for all this satisfying and hopeful conviction, does not know the meaning of the mystery of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952]]></link><description><![CDATA[But even the Christian, for all this satisfying and hopeful conviction, does not know the meaning of the mystery of life, and if he is wise he does not pretend to. He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2517]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best economic development strategy for the next few years lies in fostering entrepreneurs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29365]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best economic development strategy for the next few years lies in fostering entrepreneurs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is pride?
