The history of the organization of Christianity has been in reality the history of successive readjustments of form to altered circumstances. Its power of readjustment has been at once a mark of its divinity and a secret of its strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart is forever inexperienced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart is forever inexperienced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.The chicken is involved; the pig is committed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.The chicken is involved; the pig is committed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3587]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An average first half and we pull it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36366]]></link><description><![CDATA[An average first half and we pull it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We in Government have begun to recognize the critical work which must be done at all levels--local, State and Federal--in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47677]]></link><description><![CDATA[We in Government have begun to recognize the critical work which must be done at all levels--local, State and Federal--in ending the pollution of our waters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great fishpond (the sea). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16068]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great fishpond (the sea).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danger breeds best on too much confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Danger breeds best on too much confidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38410]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26408]]></link><description><![CDATA[I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have nothing to declare but my genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17296]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have nothing to declare but my genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Globalization is a fact of life.

It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little Kitchin makes a large house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49047]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little Kitchin makes a large house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Ye have enemies; for who can live on this earth without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Ye have enemies; for who can live on this earth without them? Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is the key to my lyrics.
