Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the best world, that we live in, To lend and to spend and to give in:  But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62186]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the best world, that we live in, To lend and to spend and to give in:  But to borrow, or beg, or to get a man's own,   It is the worst world that ever was known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

That's pretty unbelievable. It's definitely something I want to help him achieve. Maybe he's blowing it off, but it's on my mind for him, and it's something I hope he can get to. But I think he's just going to play his game. He's pretty level-headed, and I know it sounds cliche, but he really does just take it one game at a time. And that's good on his part just to stay focused. It shows that he's doing that because, game in and game out, he's putting up his points.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time will come when every change shall cease, This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace:  No summer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14207]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time will come when every change shall cease, This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace:  No summer then shall glow, not winter freeze;   Nothing shall be to come, and nothing past,    But an eternal now shall ever last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mathematics is as little a science as grammar is a language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mathematics is as little a science as grammar is a language.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill husbandry braggeth To go with the best:  Good husbandry baggeth   Up gold in his chest.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill husbandry braggeth To go with the best:  Good husbandry baggeth   Up gold in his chest.   - Thomas Tusser,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain does anyone pretend that he will be a martyr for his religion, when he will not rule an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7336]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain does anyone pretend that he will be a martyr for his religion, when he will not rule an appetite nor restrain lust nor subdue a passion nor cross his covetousness and ambition for the sake of it, and in hope of that eternal life which God that cannot lie hath promised.
