Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't know where you want to go, we will make sure you get there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61654]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't know where you want to go, we will make sure you get there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True irreverence is disrespect for another man's god ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23077]]></link><description><![CDATA[True irreverence is disrespect for another man's god]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home. -Bill Cosby. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home. -Bill Cosby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9492]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And nobler is a limited command, Given by the love of all your native land,  Than a successive title, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25958]]></link><description><![CDATA[And nobler is a limited command, Given by the love of all your native land,  Than a successive title, long and dark,   Drawn from the mouldy rolls of Noah's Ark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   One man may be so placed that his anger sheds the blood of thousands, and another so placed that, however angry he gets, he will only be laughed at. But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She (his wife) is the wind beneath my wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61888]]></link><description><![CDATA[She (his wife) is the wind beneath my wings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29591]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the situation has changed, we have been taking gradual steps towards the closure of the missions and submissions, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29815]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the situation has changed, we have been taking gradual steps towards the closure of the missions and submissions,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not what I do, but the way I do it.
