A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12148]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom is second nature. [Lat., Consuetudo est secunda natura.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom is second nature. [Lat., Consuetudo est secunda natura.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We liberated 24 cases of Scotch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34132]]></link><description><![CDATA[We liberated 24 cases of Scotch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All intellectual improvement arises from leisure ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24598]]></link><description><![CDATA[All intellectual improvement arises from leisure]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17512]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip; Nay, her foot speaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15565]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip; Nay, her foot speaks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/820]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot make your opportunities concur with the opportunities of people whose incomes are ten times greater than yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45119]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot make your opportunities concur with the opportunities of people whose incomes are ten times greater than yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The "art of tea" is a spiritual force for us to share ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56158]]></link><description><![CDATA[The "art of tea" is a spiritual force for us to share]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61349]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave the poor Some time for self-improvement.

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[We have to be careful we don't do a lot of miles on Friday and Saturday and keep the engine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34885]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to be careful we don't do a lot of miles on Friday and Saturday and keep the engine safe for the race on Sunday,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The water is the same on both sides of the boat ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The water is the same on both sides of the boat]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If any would not work, neither shall he eat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48572]]></link><description><![CDATA[If any would not work, neither shall he eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44369]]></link><description><![CDATA[My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43152]]></link><description><![CDATA[For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also calls for volunteers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And then I stole all courtesy from heaven, And dressed myself in such humility  That I did pluck allegiance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59652]]></link><description><![CDATA[And then I stole all courtesy from heaven, And dressed myself in such humility  That I did pluck allegiance from men's hearts,   Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths    Even in the presence of the crowned king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[yet the ratings kept going down.
