And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test.

At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By low ambition and the thirst of praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2317]]></link><description><![CDATA[By low ambition and the thirst of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man dies.

But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persevere in virtue and diligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persevere in virtue and diligence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who forgives readily only invites offense. [Fr., Qui pardonne aisement invite a l'offenser.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16498]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who forgives readily only invites offense. [Fr., Qui pardonne aisement invite a l'offenser.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21728]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21728</guid></item></channel></rss>
