For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love's mind of judgment rarely hath a taste: Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love's mind of judgment rarely hath a taste: Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know how one actually would define obscenity.

They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is cheap which is superfluous, for what one does not need, is dear at a penny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is cheap which is superfluous, for what one does not need, is dear at a penny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still early in the game.

This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.

His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We can all call to mind movements which have begun as pure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We can all call to mind movements which have begun as pure upsurges of fresh spiritual vitality, breaking through and revolting against the hardened structure of the older body, and claiming, in the name of the Spirit, liberty from outward forms and institutions. And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the best possible time for big companies to go after online opportunities, ...
