But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brevity is the soul of lingerie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brevity is the soul of lingerie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a chance that he who sets himself up as his brother's keeper will end up by being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27230]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a chance that he who sets himself up as his brother's keeper will end up by being his jail-keeper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56732]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My birthday is a day when all I want is to bask in the love of my family and rarely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66513]]></link><description><![CDATA[My birthday is a day when all I want is to bask in the love of my family and rarely accept offers for concerts and shows if they are to be held on this day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43009]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many Americans don't understand the importance of minority rights and the independent judiciary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too many Americans don't understand the importance of minority rights and the independent judiciary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62435]]></link><description><![CDATA[One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life isn't simple.
