The truth is hardly less the loser because the inquisitor has altered his methods. All of us who seek to explore the wide reaches of God's revelation, and strive to bring the thinking of others under the domination of Christ, do well to seek first to bring our own rhetorical techniques under that same dominion -- under the discipline, that is, of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every now and then say, 'What the f***.'

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One is not born a woman, one becomes one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61930]]></link><description><![CDATA[One is not born a woman, one becomes one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never heard of [Scratch Track], but a band like O.A.R. or Dave Matthews will find chill bands like this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36843]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never heard of [Scratch Track], but a band like O.A.R. or Dave Matthews will find chill bands like this and take them across the country with them and that's how these bands come to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One paire of eares drawes dry an hundred tongues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49696]]></link><description><![CDATA[One paire of eares drawes dry an hundred tongues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dilution looks to be about 11 percent, which is a touch less than the benefit from the synergies, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dilution looks to be about 11 percent, which is a touch less than the benefit from the synergies,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26731]]></link><description><![CDATA[But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which assail it, the remedies which will benefit it, exercises his art with caution, and pays equal attention to the rich and the poor.   - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By medicine life may be prolonged, yet death will seize the doctor too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26671]]></link><description><![CDATA[By medicine life may be prolonged, yet death will seize the doctor too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final results won't be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final results won't be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into all complaints.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Anselm, Abbot of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1109   Those blessed ones of thine... shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Anselm, Abbot of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1109   Those blessed ones of thine... shall rejoice according as they shall love; and they shall love according as they shall know.
