Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Distance is a great promoter of admiration! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Distance is a great promoter of admiration!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While it may sound good initially, this has the potential to hurt businesses at a time when we should be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29571]]></link><description><![CDATA[While it may sound good initially, this has the potential to hurt businesses at a time when we should be helping them.

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item></channel></rss>
