If anyone said it was unsuitable for the man's power to be in the toe, he would be thought silly, because, while granting that a man penetrates and actuates the whole of his body, he denied his presence in the part. Similarly, no one who admits the presence of the Word of God in the universe as a whole should think it unsuitable for a single human body to be by Him actuated and enlightened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sincere diplomacy is no more possible than dry water or wooden iron. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sincere diplomacy is no more possible than dry water or wooden iron.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe in yourself!

Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever they recommend, he will do.

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudent people are very happy; 'tis an exceeding fine thing, that's certain, but I was born without it, and shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudent people are very happy; 'tis an exceeding fine thing, that's certain, but I was born without it, and shall retain to my day of Death the Humour of saying what I think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unthread the rude eye of rebellion, And welcome home again discarded faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unthread the rude eye of rebellion, And welcome home again discarded faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expect the company to follow through on expansion because the management team is focused on its core business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32227]]></link><description><![CDATA[I expect the company to follow through on expansion because the management team is focused on its core business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often do the spirits Of great events stride on before the events,  And in to-day already walks to-morrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often do the spirits Of great events stride on before the events,  And in to-day already walks to-morrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46478]]></link><description><![CDATA[When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know what he himself means, that is philosophy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't want anyone to know it, don't do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60527]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't want anyone to know it, don't do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Caution is the eldest child of wisdom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Caution is the eldest child of wisdom]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trying is a part of failing.
