To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The military don't start wars.

Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12347]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold him alone truly fortunate who has ended his life in happy well-being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold him alone truly fortunate who has ended his life in happy well-being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a dull actor now, I have forgot my part, and I am out,  Even to a full disgrace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a dull actor now, I have forgot my part, and I am out,  Even to a full disgrace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They shared the chores of living as some couples do--she did most of the work and he appreciated it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19911]]></link><description><![CDATA[They shared the chores of living as some couples do--she did most of the work and he appreciated it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65475]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A creature not too bright nor good For human nature's daily food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51858]]></link><description><![CDATA[A creature not too bright nor good For human nature's daily food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business is going to go wherever it (can) make money.
