That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H. White.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A degenerate nobleman, or one that is proud of his birth, is like a turnip.

Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are actively at the bargaining table, and we already have agreements with one-third of our work force, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41660]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are actively at the bargaining table, and we already have agreements with one-third of our work force, and the terms are reasonable and fair.

Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much benevolence of the passive order may be traced to a disinclination to inflict pain upon oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much benevolence of the passive order may be traced to a disinclination to inflict pain upon oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they can stay where they are and can have air and water, (then) stay where they are.

Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item></channel></rss>
