A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58113]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know who you are, and I am not impressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55053]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know who you are, and I am not impressed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people are reluctant to consider the future, arguing that it must be left to solve its own problems and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people are reluctant to consider the future, arguing that it must be left to solve its own problems and to shape its own beliefs. In all right efforts for the future, religion must be given first place. No provision to secure peace or just social principles can be worth much unless the foremost aim be to establish the Kingdom of God.

But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Baron's retainers were blithe and gay, And keeping their Christmas holiday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8624]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Baron's retainers were blithe and gay, And keeping their Christmas holiday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No wise man ever thought that a traitor should be trusted. [Lat., Nemo unquam sapiens proditori credendum putavit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59639]]></link><description><![CDATA[No wise man ever thought that a traitor should be trusted. [Lat., Nemo unquam sapiens proditori credendum putavit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope he wins - I'm rooting for him now.

The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31831]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adaptability: A wise man adapts himself to circumstances as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning.
