And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing better fitted to delight the reader than change of circumstances and varieties of fortune. [Lat., Nihil est ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5519]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing better fitted to delight the reader than change of circumstances and varieties of fortune. [Lat., Nihil est aptius delectationem lectoris quam temporum varietates fortunaeque vicissitudines.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24954]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lower one's vitality, the more sensitive one is to great art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55147]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lower one's vitality, the more sensitive one is to great art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65336]]></link><description><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are lacking in faith, Others will be unfaithful to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21163]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are lacking in faith, Others will be unfaithful to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45684]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57463]]></link><description><![CDATA[If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52455]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my gossip Report be an honest woman of her word. -The Merchant of Venice.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would be willing to bet that if one day a woman walked barefoot to the moon and back and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3430]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would be willing to bet that if one day a woman walked barefoot to the moon and back and a man cleaned out his desk, when the two of them sat down to dinner that night he would say, ‘Boy was that desk a mess.’]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5117]]></link><description><![CDATA[About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid it will never begin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid it will never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11974]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Belly and the MembersThe members of the Body rebelled against the Belly, and said, Why should we be perpetually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Belly and the MembersThe members of the Body rebelled against the Belly, and said, Why should we be perpetually engaged in administering to your wants, while you do nothing but take your rest, and enjoy yourself in luxury and self-indulgence?'

It's courage that counts. •George R. Tilton   I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. •George S. Patton   There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. •Barbara Ward   Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. •German Proverb   A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. •J. Paul Getty   Failure is not fatal; victory is not success. •Tony Richardson   Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J.
