Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pleasure of one's effect on other people still exists in age -- what's called making a hit.

Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable waies of working upon others, without further inquisition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45027]]></link><description><![CDATA[That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must train your intuition - you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22984]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must train your intuition - you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[IP therapy is not a new treatment approach, but it has not been widely accepted as the gold standard for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33368]]></link><description><![CDATA[IP therapy is not a new treatment approach, but it has not been widely accepted as the gold standard for women with ovarian cancer. There has been a prejudice against IP therapy in ovarian cancer because it's an old idea, it requires skill and experience for the surgery and for the chemotherapy, and it's more complicated than IV chemotherapy. But now we have firm data showing that we should use a combination of IP and IV chemotherapy in most women with advanced ovarian cancer who have had successful surgery to remove the bulk of their tumor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So here hath been dawning Another blue day;  Think, wilt thou let it   Slip useless away?  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11132]]></link><description><![CDATA[So here hath been dawning Another blue day;  Think, wilt thou let it   Slip useless away?    Out of eternity     This new day is born,      Into eternity       At night will return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unseen hands delay The coming of what oft seems close in ken,  And, contrary, the moment, when we say ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unseen hands delay The coming of what oft seems close in ken,  And, contrary, the moment, when we say   "'Twill never come!" comes on us even then.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He shall find the rugged thistle bursting Into glossy purples, that outredden  All voluptuous garden roses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51697]]></link><description><![CDATA[He shall find the rugged thistle bursting Into glossy purples, that outredden  All voluptuous garden roses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the road, the lonely road, Under the cold, white moon;  Under the rugged trees he strode,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43075]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the road, the lonely road, Under the cold, white moon;  Under the rugged trees he strode,   Whistled and shifted his heavy load--    Whistled a foolish tune.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman and a glasse are ever in danger. [A woman and a glass are ever in danger.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49089]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman and a glasse are ever in danger. [A woman and a glass are ever in danger.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, Martyr, c.107  There is a false self-distrust which denies the worth of its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, Martyr, c.107  There is a false self-distrust which denies the worth of its own talent. It is not humility -- it is petty pride, withholding its simple gifts from the hands of Christ because they are not more pretentious. There are men who would endow colleges, they say, if they were millionaires. They would help in the work of Bible study if they were as gifted as Henry Drummond. They would strive to lead their associates into the Christian life if they had the gifts of Dwight L. Moody. But they are not ready to give what they have and do what they can and be as it has pleased God to make them, in His service -- and that is their condemnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is as much a part of the Derby tradition as the Twin Spires themselves, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38754]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is as much a part of the Derby tradition as the Twin Spires themselves,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34485]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We missed Valentine's Day by about a week.
