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[If you're in a Manhattan building with 30 apartments that's one thing.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women and foxes, being weak, are distinguished by superior tact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women and foxes, being weak, are distinguished by superior tact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time to enjoy a European trip is about three weeks after unpacking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time to enjoy a European trip is about three weeks after unpacking]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Howe'er it be, it seems to me, 'Tis only noble to be good;  Kind hearts are more than coronets, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Howe'er it be, it seems to me, 'Tis only noble to be good;  Kind hearts are more than coronets,   And simple faith than Norman blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3440]]></link><description><![CDATA[To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They could bring the weapon today inside a cargo container that comes to one of our ports, and the technologies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35958]]></link><description><![CDATA[They could bring the weapon today inside a cargo container that comes to one of our ports, and the technologies that we have deployed would have a low chance of finding it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have been talks for 12 years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37446]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have been talks for 12 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Criticism is prejudice made plausible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Criticism is prejudice made plausible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions --but not without a bodyguard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17517]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blond in a red dress can do without introductions --but not without a bodyguard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a flower, a little flower With silver crest and golden eye,  That welcomes every changing hour,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10996]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a flower, a little flower With silver crest and golden eye,  That welcomes every changing hour,   And weathers every sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're kind of shooting to have the marquee lit the first week of December.
