Can you imagine "common sense" surpassing science and technology in the quest to unravel the human stress mess? In time, society will have a new measure for confirming truth. It's inside the people-not at the mercy of current scientific methodology. Let scientists facilitate discovery, but not invent your inner truth. -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few strong instincts and a few plain rules. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22832]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few strong instincts and a few plain rules.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great fortune depends on luck, a small one on diligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12297]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great fortune depends on luck, a small one on diligence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Past lives o'er again, In its effects, and to the guilty spirit  The ever-frowning Present is its image. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Past lives o'er again, In its effects, and to the guilty spirit  The ever-frowning Present is its image.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words of love, are works of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words of love, are works of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the perfect opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38702]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was the perfect opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

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[So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51412]]></link><description><![CDATA[So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It gets so boring at home.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25700]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw my first Friesian back in 1980 when I was a judge at the California State Fair.

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Actors are willing to give their entire lives to a moment--to that line, that laugh, that gesture, or that interpretation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actors are willing to give their entire lives to a moment--to that line, that laugh, that gesture, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58729]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To gain a livelihood at the expense of all that makes life worth the having. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50527]]></link><description><![CDATA[To gain a livelihood at the expense of all that makes life worth the having.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36147]]></link><description><![CDATA[The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm pretty hopeful that the public will be favorable to it this time because we have had some comments that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33555]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm pretty hopeful that the public will be favorable to it this time because we have had some comments that the lily pads are getting to be too much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He carries a stone in one hand, and offers bread with the other. [Lat., Altera manu fert lapidem, altera panem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50903]]></link><description><![CDATA[He carries a stone in one hand, and offers bread with the other. [Lat., Altera manu fert lapidem, altera panem ostentat.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How blessings brighten as they take their flight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51863]]></link><description><![CDATA[How blessings brighten as they take their flight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, "Shake well before using."
