There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad language or abuse I never, never use,  Whatever the emergency;   Though "Bother it" I may  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad language or abuse I never, never use,  Whatever the emergency;   Though "Bother it" I may    Occasionally say,     I never never use a big, big D.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5481]]></link><description><![CDATA[The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like Wagner's music much better than anybody's.
