The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58548]]></link><description><![CDATA[A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to get boring before it gets exciting.

It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstances]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The suppliers who receive these awards have provided exceptional performance in Quality to our Toyota plants in Europe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41694]]></link><description><![CDATA[The suppliers who receive these awards have provided exceptional performance in Quality to our Toyota plants in Europe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a difference between interest and commitment.

We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is "of him". If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in his anointing. If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, it appears in his birth. For by his birth he was made like us in all respects that he might learn to feel our pain. If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his descent into hell; if mortification of the flesh, in his tomb; if newness of life, in his resurrection; if immortality, in the same; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mom still eats meat.

The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21555]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guilt is the source of sorrows, the avenging fiend that follows us behindwith whips and stings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guilt is the source of sorrows, the avenging fiend that follows us behindwith whips and stings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She has deceived her father, and may thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51436]]></link><description><![CDATA[She has deceived her father, and may thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stronger than thunder's winged force All-powerful gold can speed its course;  Through watchful guards its passage make,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stronger than thunder's winged force All-powerful gold can speed its course;  Through watchful guards its passage make,   And loves through solid walls to break.    [Lat., Aurum per medios ire satellites     Et perrumpere amat saxa potentius      Ictu fulmineo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915   Our critical day ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915   Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life; I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls; but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man has no right to kill his brother.

It comes from him in his Sonship in a double way, as man living to God and as God living with men. Belief in him and loyalty to his cause involve men in the double movement, from world to God and from God to world. Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My husband was very enthusiastic, and my children are all investing.

The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody expects it to take real long, but it takes a while to build a program anywhere.
