Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cure for War?

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The scupltor does not work for the anatomist, but for the common observer of life and nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54937]]></link><description><![CDATA[The scupltor does not work for the anatomist, but for the common observer of life and nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22186]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge by suffering entereth, And life is perfected by death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge by suffering entereth, And life is perfected by death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47726]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gift in time of need is most acceptable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50703]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gift in time of need is most acceptable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5577]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He did what pitchers do when they're successful.
