We may discover at the crucial moment that we are spiritually bankrupt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sometimes think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2957]]></link><description><![CDATA[I sometimes think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is bottled poetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is bottled poetry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't know who we are until we see what we can do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22406]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't know who we are until we see what we can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must train your intuition - you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22984]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must train your intuition - you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bellowing cow soon forgets her calf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50954]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bellowing cow soon forgets her calf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather think of life as a good book.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22647]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is anything better than to be loved it is loving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25659]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is anything better than to be loved it is loving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy without morality is impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy without morality is impossible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A very merry, dancing, drinking, Laughing, quaffing, and unthinking time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27409]]></link><description><![CDATA[A very merry, dancing, drinking, Laughing, quaffing, and unthinking time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If advice will not improve him, neither will the rod. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/801]]></link><description><![CDATA[If advice will not improve him, neither will the rod.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ireland's ruins are historic emotions surrendered to time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ireland's ruins are historic emotions surrendered to time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marital Freedom: The liberty that allows a husband to do exactly that which his wife pleases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marital Freedom: The liberty that allows a husband to do exactly that which his wife pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The profoundest truth of war is that the issue of battle is usually decided in the minds of the opposing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47338]]></link><description><![CDATA[The profoundest truth of war is that the issue of battle is usually decided in the minds of the opposing commanders, not in the bodies of their men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatsoever was the father of a disease, an ill dyet was the mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatsoever was the father of a disease, an ill dyet was the mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who fears not to do ill fears the name, And free from conscience, is a slave to fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who fears not to do ill fears the name, And free from conscience, is a slave to fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of what use are pedigrees, or to be thought of noble blood, or the display of family portraits, O Ponticus? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of what use are pedigrees, or to be thought of noble blood, or the display of family portraits, O Ponticus? [Lat., Stemmata quid faciunt, quid prodest, Pontice, longo,  Sanguine censeri pictosque ostendere vultus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All hell shall stir for this. -King Henry V.

Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel-throng, Swelling all your slopes along. Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and dear, "God to man is drawing near." Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They tried to make other people beat them, which we did. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28361]]></link><description><![CDATA[They tried to make other people beat them, which we did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the devil drives, needs must.
