They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The logic of the heart is absurd ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19025]]></link><description><![CDATA[The logic of the heart is absurd]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19025</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://www.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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every little thing counts in a crisis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every little thing counts in a crisis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43996]]></link><description><![CDATA[The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Tennessee Titans played in Memphis until their stadium was ready in Nashville.

And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11393]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is not pleasure, it's victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is not pleasure, it's victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Schools tell us if they want it or not and then we route it around to as many schools as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Schools tell us if they want it or not and then we route it around to as many schools as we can.

If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13940]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The little wind that hardly shook The silver of the sleeping brook  Blew the gold hair about her eyes,-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18594]]></link><description><![CDATA[The little wind that hardly shook The silver of the sleeping brook  Blew the gold hair about her eyes,--   A mystery of mysteries.    So he must often pause, and stoop,     An all the wanton ringlets loop      Behind her dainty ear--emprise       Of slow event and many sighs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is never too late to have a happy childhood ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5884]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is never too late to have a happy childhood]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5884</guid></item></channel></rss>
