But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; norcan the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution. This is the way to keep a country at peace and an army intact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62968]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without a sign his sword the brave man draws, And asks no omen but his country's cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without a sign his sword the brave man draws, And asks no omen but his country's cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The music we made then was so amateurish, compared to the rest of mainstream pop or rock and roll.

There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5484]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am gradually approaching the period in my life when work comes first. . . .
