When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not good fishing before the net. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49581]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not good fishing before the net.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For patience, sov'reign o'er transmuted ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45721]]></link><description><![CDATA[For patience, sov'reign o'er transmuted ill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without labor nothing prospers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without labor nothing prospers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Actually I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actually I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hungry man is not a free man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16700]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hungry man is not a free man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2412]]></link><description><![CDATA[The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This team knows that they are part of history but it also knows that they have done nothing yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37406]]></link><description><![CDATA[This team knows that they are part of history but it also knows that they have done nothing yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such men as he be never at heart's ease Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,  And therefore are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such men as he be never at heart's ease Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,  And therefore are they very dangerous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to prosper, let your customer prosper.When people have learned this lesson, everyone will seek his individual welfare ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15977]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish to prosper, let your customer prosper.When people have learned this lesson, everyone will seek his individual welfare in the general welfare.

The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Academe, n.: An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught.
