They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful light is born of darkness, so the faith that springs from conflict is often the strongest and the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beautiful light is born of darkness, so the faith that springs from conflict is often the strongest and the best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers,  From their pulpits of stone, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers,  From their pulpits of stone, in the upper air,   Sounding aloft, without crack or flaw,    Shriller than trumpets under the Law,     Now a sermon and now a prayer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The minister's brain is often the "poor-box" of the church. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53612]]></link><description><![CDATA[The minister's brain is often the "poor-box" of the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a jolly miller once, Lived on the River Dee;  He worked and sang, from morn to night; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9935]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a jolly miller once, Lived on the River Dee;  He worked and sang, from morn to night;   No lark so blithe as he.    And this the burden of his song,     Forever used to be,--      "I care for nobody, not I,       If no one cares for me."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treasure the love you receive above all.

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.'
