It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I also don't like films that are made just to make money, no this kind of film I don't like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32692]]></link><description><![CDATA[I also don't like films that are made just to make money, no this kind of film I don't like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex with love is the greatest thing in life.

He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there. •Indira Gandhi  I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. •Douglas Adams  There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes. •William Bennett  The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them. •Robert Frost  When work is a pleasure, life is a joy; when work is a duty, life is slavery. •Maksim Gorky  One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. •Elbert Hubbard  It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. •Jerome K Jerome  One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. •Bertrand Russell  Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them. •Lily Tomlin  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment. •Robert Benchley  Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. •Thomas Edison  Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. •Sam Ewing  Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love. •David McCullough  Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. •John G.

Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's justice is another's injustice; one man's beauty is another's ugliness; one man's wisdom is another's folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59997]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's justice is another's injustice; one man's beauty is another's ugliness; one man's wisdom is another's folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me matter, and I will construct a world out of it! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me matter, and I will construct a world out of it!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48798]]></link><description><![CDATA[No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a lot of kids that had to change roles.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44403]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a child – in school, music, athletics.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation. [Lat., Ut adversas res, secundas ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48484]]></link><description><![CDATA[It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation. [Lat., Ut adversas res, secundas immoderate ferre, levitatis est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing inevitable about the tensions between our two countries or on the Korean peninsula or in the region, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41269]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing inevitable about the tensions between our two countries or on the Korean peninsula or in the region,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hug the shore; let others try the deep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hug the shore; let others try the deep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon silence will have passed into legend.
