A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passedby and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired ofhim, Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' Hereplied, I had not leisure enough. I passed the days insinging. They then said in derision: If you were foolish enoughto sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in thewinter.It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you look at a list of companies we serve . . . you start to get a feel for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36785]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you look at a list of companies we serve . . . you start to get a feel for what we are able to do in customizing our training to meet your needs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no fear of God before their eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17685]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no fear of God before their eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want life to imitate art.

At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That blessed word Mesopotamia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62030]]></link><description><![CDATA[That blessed word Mesopotamia.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We change, whether we like it or not ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5489]]></link><description><![CDATA[We change, whether we like it or not]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a philosophic eye, the vices of the clergy are far less dangerous than their virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60552]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a philosophic eye, the vices of the clergy are far less dangerous than their virtues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Benjamin Hardlysee decided to point it out to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Benjamin Hardlysee decided to point it out to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will scarce think you have swam in a gondola. -As You Like It.
