Here we gather together for no earthly business, but for a purpose of one sort only; and that purpose is the same for which saints and angels are met together in that innumerable company before the throne of God. If there is a place on earth which, however faintly and dimly, shadows out the courts of God on high, surely it is where His people are met together, in all their weakness and ignorance and sin, in their poor and low estate, yet with humble and faithful hearts, in His House of Prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every madman thinks all other men mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every madman thinks all other men mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It allows us to go out and sweep the city at a much faster pace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31122]]></link><description><![CDATA[It allows us to go out and sweep the city at a much faster pace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never follow the crowd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never follow the crowd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm putting the island in a trust so that only blood relatives can live on it for the next 360 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33350]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm putting the island in a trust so that only blood relatives can live on it for the next 360 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are where you are right now because of the actions you've taken, or maybe, the inaction you've taken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63149]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are where you are right now because of the actions you've taken, or maybe, the inaction you've taken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running into debt isn't so bad.

If we walk with our eyes down, looking at what is happening right now in our lives, we are likely to waver and fall.

We may sometimes still stumble, but if we get back up and train our eyes on God once again, He will guide us to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes.

And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played even after falling behind, ...
