Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marry, by these special marks: first, you have learned, like Sir Proteus, to wreathe your arms like a malcontent, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marry, by these special marks: first, you have learned, like Sir Proteus, to wreathe your arms like a malcontent, to relish a love-song like a robin-redbreast, to walk alone like one that had the pestilence, to sigh like a schoolboy that had lost his A B C, to weep like a young wench that had buried her grandam, to fast like one that takes diet, to watch like one that fears robbing, to speak puling like a beggar at Hallowmas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are given one life, and the decision is our whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11635]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are given one life, and the decision is our whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is strange... that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61080]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is strange... that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have more cargo coming in than last year, largely because of the end of textile and apparel quotas, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34655]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have more cargo coming in than last year, largely because of the end of textile and apparel quotas, but it's flowing much more smoothly from the ships to the stores than we saw in 2004,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15962]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19606]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can I be useful, of what service can I be?

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business anywhere else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business anywhere else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many elements to a campaign.Leadership is number one.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17060</guid></item></channel></rss>
