And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have nowhere else to go... this is all we have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43849]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have nowhere else to go... this is all we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are people who read too much: bibliobibuli.

They are not only results of our action, but results which that action has merited; and there is no moral hope for us unless we accept them as such.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and everybody else was happy.

It was unkind to speak to men like this, for such a cheap offer could only leave them bewildered and tempt them from the way to which they had been called by Christ. Having laid hold on cheap grace, they were barred forever from the knowledge of costly grace. Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they were in possession of this cheap grace -- whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience. The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reducing workforce is the toughest business decision a company has to make.

That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.
