But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger should never appear in awarding punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger should never appear in awarding punishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Handsome features are a silent recommendation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Handsome features are a silent recommendation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In complex situations, we may rely too heavily on planning and forecasting and underestimate the importance of random factors in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9882]]></link><description><![CDATA[In complex situations, we may rely too heavily on planning and forecasting and underestimate the importance of random factors in the environment.

These are talents in their kind; but it is the Spirit that must manage all that learning they have, or it will prejudice them, and you also. I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But you business is to trade with your spiritual abilities... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself; but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart [are] not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaidand deeds left undone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11350]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaidand deeds left undone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always been Tom's philosophy and to this day that if we are going to do it -- we are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40458]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always been Tom's philosophy and to this day that if we are going to do it -- we are going to do it right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He gives lectures but no one hears about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41152]]></link><description><![CDATA[He gives lectures but no one hears about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not necessary to hope in order to understand, nor to succeed in order to persevere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22261]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not necessary to hope in order to understand, nor to succeed in order to persevere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something.

That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.
