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[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best of hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51982]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best of hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be.
