I now see godliness is more than the outside and this world's passments and their buskings [i.e., ornaments and fine dress]. Who knoweth the truth of grace without a trial? O how little getteth Christ of us, but that which he winneth (to speak so) with much toil and pains! And how soon would faith freeze without a cross?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bikini is like a barbed-wire fence.

It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to livetwice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21872]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to livetwice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think over again my small adventures, my fears, These small ones that seemed so big.

It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20382]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Walls have tongues, and hedges ears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Walls have tongues, and hedges ears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The amount of power freed by telling yourself you no longer choose toput energy into something can be remarkable.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bid me to love, and I will give a loving heart to thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bid me to love, and I will give a loving heart to thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61171]]></link><description><![CDATA[I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Godzilla's a monster for the '90s.
