It severed an umbilical cord... In former days the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God... Today the individual has become the highest form and the greatest bane of artistic creation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When friends are at your hearthside met, Sweet courtesy has done its most  If you have made each guest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19852]]></link><description><![CDATA[When friends are at your hearthside met, Sweet courtesy has done its most  If you have made each guest forget   That he himself is not the host.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're pleased with our employees' ability to deliver a customer-centric experience.

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[I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. - "Trees". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27864]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. - "Trees".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The youth hunt gives a kid a chance before the adults clean up.

I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brave man seeks not popular applause, Nor, overpower'd with arms, deserts his cause;  Unsham'd, though foil'd, he does ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4851]]></link><description><![CDATA[The brave man seeks not popular applause, Nor, overpower'd with arms, deserts his cause;  Unsham'd, though foil'd, he does the best he can,   Force is of brutes, but honor is of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today: how can peoples of different ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today: how can peoples of different appearance... and dissimilar ways of life get along peaceably together?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The objection of the scandalmonger is not that she tells of racy doings, but that she pretends to be indignant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54757]]></link><description><![CDATA[The objection of the scandalmonger is not that she tells of racy doings, but that she pretends to be indignant about them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52646]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding.
