This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18762]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning; One pain is less'ned by another's anguish;  Turn giddy, and be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tut, man, one fire burns out another's burning; One pain is less'ned by another's anguish;  Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning;   One desperate grief cures with another's languish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The less of this cold world the more of heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50647]]></link><description><![CDATA[The less of this cold world the more of heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apprentice is the beginner - the first years you work in a craft in the European sense you are an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Apprentice is the beginner - the first years you work in a craft in the European sense you are an apprentice.

He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth   Men today do not, perhaps, burn the Bible, nor does the Roman Catholic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth   Men today do not, perhaps, burn the Bible, nor does the Roman Catholic Church any longer put it on the Index, as it once did. But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51315]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Barleycorn was a hero bold, Of noble enterprise,  For if you do but taste his blood,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61672]]></link><description><![CDATA[John Barleycorn was a hero bold, Of noble enterprise,  For if you do but taste his blood,   'Twill make your courage rise,    Twill make a man forget his wo;     'Twill heighten all his joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Funerals are all abstract ceremony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Funerals are all abstract ceremony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63098]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I played a blank tape on full volume.
