We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest power of ruling consists in the exercise of self-control. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51191]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest power of ruling consists in the exercise of self-control.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The explanation avails nothing, which in leading us from one difficulty involves us in another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50340]]></link><description><![CDATA[The explanation avails nothing, which in leading us from one difficulty involves us in another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would the gods had made thee poetical. -As You Like It.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one thing women can never take away from men.
