But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In those whom I like, I can find no common denominator; in those whom I love I can: they all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25784]]></link><description><![CDATA[In those whom I like, I can find no common denominator; in those whom I love I can: they all make me laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Makes deeds ill done! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58905]]></link><description><![CDATA[How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Makes deeds ill done!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If man is not made for God, why is he not happy except in God?

In this he is hampered by a load of contradictory and absurd assumptions of the school that he follows, which throws him into all manner of difficulty. Einstein has such a faculty for embracing both sides of a contradiction that one would have to be of the same frame of mind to follow his thought, it is so peculiarly his own. The whole Relativity theory is as easy to follow as the path of a bat in the air at night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Global Services division goes from strength to strength ... providing BT with diversification away from pure telecoms services that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Global Services division goes from strength to strength ... providing BT with diversification away from pure telecoms services that remain under intense pricing pressure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She knows her man, and when you rant and swear, Can draw you to her with a single hair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18584]]></link><description><![CDATA[She knows her man, and when you rant and swear, Can draw you to her with a single hair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The $50,000 fine is the highest that can be levied in a death-related case. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The $50,000 fine is the highest that can be levied in a death-related case.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is the happiest of men?
