A man is too apt to forget that in this world he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left to him. Better bend than break. Never swap horses while crossing a stream.Why not upset the apple cart? If you don't, the apples will rot anyway. There is never time to do it right, but there is always time to do it over. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Fail to plan, plan to fail. -Carl W.

The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16719]]></link><description><![CDATA[We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Length the Fox turnes Monk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49143]]></link><description><![CDATA[At Length the Fox turnes Monk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity.
