Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a thief takes ten years to learn his trade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a thief takes ten years to learn his trade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During the quarter, we maintained our focus on managing costs, increasing revenue in our growth businesses, and improving customer satisfaction, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42520]]></link><description><![CDATA[During the quarter, we maintained our focus on managing costs, increasing revenue in our growth businesses, and improving customer satisfaction,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds-- The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband an' 'e gives 'er all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds-- The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband an' 'e gives 'er all she needs;  But, oh, the little cargo-boats, that sail the wet seas roun',   They're just the same as you an' me, a'-plyin' up an' down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are dying from overthinking.
