His love and faith is alive in millions of Americans who volunteer each day in soup kitchens or in schools, or who refused to ignore the suffering of millions they'd never met in far-away places when a tsunami brought unthinkable destruction. His vision and his passion is alive in churches and on campuses when millions stand up against the injustice of discrimination anywhere, or the indifference that leaves too many behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quite frankly, [the bid process] is as intense as any pursuit of a telecom contract I've ever been through representing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quite frankly, [the bid process] is as intense as any pursuit of a telecom contract I've ever been through representing BellSouth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53647]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men have gone so far as to talk as though their idols have come to life, it is time that someone broke them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine Kind words and kind deeds]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent is God given.

In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery"...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning a Lenten series on prayer:  If we would talk less and pray more about them, things would be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beginning a Lenten series on prayer:  If we would talk less and pray more about them, things would be better than they are in the world: at least, we should be better enabled to bear them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm worried.

When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair and softly goes far. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair and softly goes far.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  The surest symbol of a heart not yet fully subdued ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  The surest symbol of a heart not yet fully subdued to God and His will is going to be found in the areas of money, sex, and power: in wanting these things for ourselves. The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power corrupts.
