We Church people have become so prone to loud and abusive self-depreciation that the thing amounts to a disease... and though these doleful spirits are not altogether serious, the world is listening, and takes us, not unnaturally, at our own dismal and unflattering valuation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Older people are seen basically as doddery but dear, and young people perhaps as clever but callous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Older people are seen basically as doddery but dear, and young people perhaps as clever but callous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God gives nuts to those with no teeth. -Arabic proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1872]]></link><description><![CDATA[God gives nuts to those with no teeth. -Arabic proverb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who thinks anything of goitre on the Alps? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who thinks anything of goitre on the Alps?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22959]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63129]]></link><description><![CDATA[We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of today's signings are more than capable of contributing to the success of the team.

He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little bit of vegetation is good but too much is not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33556]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little bit of vegetation is good but too much is not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold And the mate of the Nancy brig,  And a bo'sun ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold And the mate of the Nancy brig,  And a bo'sun tight and a midshipmite   And the crew of the captain's gig.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Interest rates remain at relatively low levels and consequently the mortgage business remains robust, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Interest rates remain at relatively low levels and consequently the mortgage business remains robust,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19944]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, Truth will always win in a free and open encounter.
