There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For six years, Belgrade has been allowed to partition Kosovo at the Ibar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28804]]></link><description><![CDATA[For six years, Belgrade has been allowed to partition Kosovo at the Ibar]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17729]]></link><description><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our minds can work for us or against us at any given moment.

Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24705]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership: The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership: The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mr. absent, and the house dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49898]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Mr. absent, and the house dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still practice Transcendental Meditation and I think it's great.

Now contrarily I bless myself, and am thankful that I lived not in the days of miracles, that I never saw Christ nor His Disciples; I would not have been one of those Israelites that passed the Red Sea, nor one of Christ's patients, on whom He wrought His wonders; then had my faith been thrust upon me, nor should I enjoy that greater blessing pronounced to all that believe and saw not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In life, as in chess, forethought wins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27737]]></link><description><![CDATA[In life, as in chess, forethought wins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43199]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is rich that is satisfied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2109]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is rich that is satisfied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the world slide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the world slide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And plenty makes us poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47881]]></link><description><![CDATA[And plenty makes us poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65431]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when it comes time to play, you have to be ready.
