Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contrary to what many people may think, the nation's children are faring better in many respects than they have in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contrary to what many people may think, the nation's children are faring better in many respects than they have in previous years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me think...

Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This dynamic week celebrates small business owners' accomplishments, but also encourages these winners to continue their growth.
