He esteems affection rather than valuables, and sets all gifts below the Beloved. A noble-minded lover rests not in the gift, but in Me above every gift." The sustaining power of the Beloved Presence has through the ages made the sickbed sweet and the graveside triumphant; transformed broken hearts and relations; brought glory to drudgery, poverty and old age; and turned the martyr's stake or noose into a place of coronation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more gross the fraud, the more glibly will it go down and the more greedily will it be swallowed, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10626]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more gross the fraud, the more glibly will it go down and the more greedily will it be swallowed, since folly will always find faith wherever imposters will find impudence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is a higher revelation than philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is a higher revelation than philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ask people not to duck the ropes, but they can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29383]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ask people not to duck the ropes, but they can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tenor's voice is spoilt by affectation, And for the bass, the beast can only bellow;  In fact, he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56448]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tenor's voice is spoilt by affectation, And for the bass, the beast can only bellow;  In fact, he had no singing education,   An ignorant, noteless, timeless, tuneless fellow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt like Jesus being lifted up, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34318]]></link><description><![CDATA[I felt like Jesus being lifted up,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  When no tensions are confronted and overcome, because insiders or outsiders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  When no tensions are confronted and overcome, because insiders or outsiders of a certain class or group meet happily among themselves, then the one new thing, peace, and the one new man created by Christ, are missing; then no faith, no church, no Christ, is found or confessed. For if the attribute "Christian" can be given sense from Eph. 2, then it means reconciled and reconciling, triumphant over walls and removing the debris, showing solidarity with the "enemy" and promoting not one's own peace of mind but "our peace"... When this peace is deprived of its social, national, or economic dimensions, when it is distorted or emasculated so much that only "peace of mind" enjoyed by saintly individuals is left -- then Jesus Christ is being flatly denied. To propose, in the name of Christianity, neutrality or unconcern on questions of international, racial, or economic peace -- this amounts to using Christ's name in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20884]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As turning the logs will make a dull fire burn, so changes of studies a dull brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58039]]></link><description><![CDATA[As turning the logs will make a dull fire burn, so changes of studies a dull brain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We [Microsoft] don't have a monopoly.
