He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and a belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation.

A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who marries a woman to educate her falls a victim to the same fallacy as the woman who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27122]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who marries a woman to educate her falls a victim to the same fallacy as the woman who marries a man to reform him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59330]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that die by famine die by inches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20154]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that die by famine die by inches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people leave, they're happy they can check it off their list.

Yet they are quite incapable of filling the gap, because this infinite gulf can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object -- that is, God, Himself. He alone is man's veritable good, and since man has deserted Him it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature that has not been capable of taking His place for man: stars, sky, earth, elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, plague, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest. And since he has lost the true good, everything can equally appear to him as such -- even his own destruction, though that is so contrary at once to God, to reason, and to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beyond the Alps lies Italy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beyond the Alps lies Italy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22030]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he would tell you he wasn't very happy with the way he played overall last year.
