You cannot know whither you are going or what you are to do. But why not take the Pilot on board who knows the nature of your sealed orders from the outset, and who will shape your entire voyage accordingly? He knows the shoals and the sandbanks, the rocks and the reefs, He will steer you safely into that celestial harbor where your anchor will be cast for eternity. Let His almighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, nor that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master... But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test... For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22613]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2284]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her reasoning is it was an accident from day one.

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul's impurity consists in bad judgments, and purification consists in producing in it right judgments, and the pure soul ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1275]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul's impurity consists in bad judgments, and purification consists in producing in it right judgments, and the pure soul is one which has right judgments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For chance fights ever on the side of the prudent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51968]]></link><description><![CDATA[For chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think you can be a success at anything if you think about losing, whether it's in sports or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25564]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think you can be a success at anything if you think about losing, whether it's in sports or in politics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you mine are far greater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you mine are far greater.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity: The deep air listen'd round her as she rode,  And all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity: The deep air listen'd round her as she rode,  And all the low wind hardly breathed for fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone could have gotten where they are by making a few wrong choices.
