To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competition is the whetstone of talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competition is the whetstone of talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These legislators did the right thing and recognized the importance of letting Wisconsin citizens have their say in November. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39293]]></link><description><![CDATA[These legislators did the right thing and recognized the importance of letting Wisconsin citizens have their say in November.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no pain you are recedingA distant ship, smoke on the horizon.You are only coming through in waves.Your lips ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15471]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no pain you are recedingA distant ship, smoke on the horizon.You are only coming through in waves.Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.When I was a child I had a feverMy hands felt just like two balloons.Now I've got that feeling once againI can't explain you would not understandThis is not how I am.I have become comfortably numb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully this will get over there and, you know, maybe we can find him like we did Jill Carroll. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hopefully this will get over there and, you know, maybe we can find him like we did Jill Carroll.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punctuality is the thief of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punctuality is the thief of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much. -Robert Greenleaf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much. -Robert Greenleaf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think the market can make a lot of headway until we get an idea of the depth and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37128]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think the market can make a lot of headway until we get an idea of the depth and breadth of the profit recession.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let our object be, our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country.   - Daniel Webster, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let our object be, our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country.   - Daniel Webster,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where annual elections end where slavery begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where annual elections end where slavery begins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In dread fear of sentimentality, another thing true is not said-that for its staff the paper is a source of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55184]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dread fear of sentimentality, another thing true is not said-that for its staff the paper is a source of pride and, I do believe, an object of affection and-yes, love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dream as if you'll live forever.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you're winning or losing, it is important to always be yourself.
