We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone says "can't," that shows you what to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21464]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone says "can't," that shows you what to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to defend them.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17343]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50748]]></link><description><![CDATA[No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170   Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170   Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose.
