A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world.

We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How index-learning turns no student pale, Yet holds the eel of science by the tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54832]]></link><description><![CDATA[How index-learning turns no student pale, Yet holds the eel of science by the tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Captive primates in pharmaceutical labs can signaltheir peers of the approach of a predator white coated labtechnicianspoken on Diane Rehm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Captive primates in pharmaceutical labs can signaltheir peers of the approach of a predator white coated labtechnicianspoken on Diane Rehm Show week of Jan 1, 2004.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable - until I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11740]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable - until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but A HUMAN HEAD!!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[, Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55064]]></link><description><![CDATA[, Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives.
