True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From this it appears how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword. [Lat., Hinc quam sit calamus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46014]]></link><description><![CDATA[From this it appears how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword. [Lat., Hinc quam sit calamus saevior euse, patet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophers are capable of almost endless enjoyment of mutual misunderstanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophers are capable of almost endless enjoyment of mutual misunderstanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Content is more than a kingdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Content is more than a kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Newspapers have an agenda that does not match people's opinions in many cases, ...

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item></channel></rss>
