Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones? Is that a thing to say blithely? Is it not rather a thing to say sadly -- as if it were the saddest thing in the world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's disappointing to see a family member hurt.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She stood breast-high amid the corn, Clasp'd by the golden light of morn,  Like the sweetheart of the sun, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58293]]></link><description><![CDATA[She stood breast-high amid the corn, Clasp'd by the golden light of morn,  Like the sweetheart of the sun,   Who many a glowing kiss had won.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63659]]></link><description><![CDATA[We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot raise a man up by calling him down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21879]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What men turn to is more important than what they turn from, even if that to which they turn is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7528]]></link><description><![CDATA[What men turn to is more important than what they turn from, even if that to which they turn is only a higher moral truth; but to turn to Christ is far more important than to turn to higher moral truth: it is to turn the face towards Him in whom is all moral truth; it is to turn to HIm in whom is not only the virtue which corresponds to the known vice from which the penitent wishes to flee, but all virtue; it is to turn the face to all holiness, all purity, all grace.

Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hastiness is the beginning of wrath, and its end repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hastiness is the beginning of wrath, and its end repentance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Productivity is never an accident.

They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've tried to put ourselves in position to play some really talented teams or individual players. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37395]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've tried to put ourselves in position to play some really talented teams or individual players.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what i hate about rock?
