Therefore I am assured that this anchorage of Divine example will hold the vessel in the tossings of the wildest sea of doubt, and I shall be as safe as He was, if the vessel itself is engulfed in the waves of suffering and sorrow. His act is an argument. His prayer is an inspiration. His achievements are the everlasting and all-sufficient vindication of prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every teacher has to learn the lession. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every teacher has to learn the lession.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We urge the Supreme People's Court to conduct an immediate review of this decision with a view to overturning it. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41751]]></link><description><![CDATA[We urge the Supreme People's Court to conduct an immediate review of this decision with a view to overturning it.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dog won't forsake his master because of his poverty; a son never deserts his mother for her homely appearance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62819]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dog won't forsake his master because of his poverty; a son never deserts his mother for her homely appearance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war. •Otto Von Bismarck  Peace with a club in hand is war. •Portuguese Proverb   The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and morale. •Bernard Mannes Baruch  The greatest conqueror is he who overcomes the enemy without a blow. •Chinese Proverb   Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
