Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon as she (woman) begins to be ashamed of what she ought not, she will not be ashamed of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56130]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as she (woman) begins to be ashamed of what she ought not, she will not be ashamed of what she ought. [Lat., Nae simul pudere quod non oportet coeperit; quod oportet non pudebit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cardinal rule is you stay on line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39559]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cardinal rule is you stay on line.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139]]></link><description><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what is worship?

What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change  And pleased with novelty, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change  And pleased with novelty, might be indulged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Esau's hands suit ill with Jacob's voice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11525]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Esau's hands suit ill with Jacob's voice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity comes in a once while, you got to see it, just like a shooting star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity comes in a once while, you got to see it, just like a shooting star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what is the potential man, after all?
