As hewas crossing through the water he lost his footing, stumbled andfell, and not being able to rise on account of his load, groanedheavily. Some Frogs frequenting the pool heard his lamentation,and said, What would you do if you had to live here always as wedo, when you make such a fuss about a mere fall into the water?Men often bear little grievances with less courage thanthey do large misfortunes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[De ce să repetăm greşelile înaintaşilor, cand sunt atâtea noi greşeli de făcut? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65138]]></link><description><![CDATA[De ce să repetăm greşelile înaintaşilor, cand sunt atâtea noi greşeli de făcut?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom rings where opinions clash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom rings where opinions clash.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61463]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all other philosophers are jackasses.

The corollary is that damnation or hell, is the permanent choice of the not-God. God does not (in the monstrous old-fashioned phrase) "send" anybody to hell; hell is that state of the soul in which its choice becomes obdurate and fixed; the punishment (so to call it) of that soul is to remain eternally in that State which it has chosen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One night, at the latter end of April 1665, the family of a citizen of London carrying on an extensive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4629]]></link><description><![CDATA[One night, at the latter end of April 1665, the family of a citizen of London carrying on an extensive business as a grocer in Wood Street, Cheapside, were assembled, according to custom, at prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are reports that some of the northerners attacked a primary school near the barracks this morning and killed some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36783]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are reports that some of the northerners attacked a primary school near the barracks this morning and killed some children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The planets in their station list'ning stood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56517]]></link><description><![CDATA[The planets in their station list'ning stood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is bullshit.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can build a business up big enough, it is respectable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5068]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can build a business up big enough, it is respectable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16991]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21000]]></link><description><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We may choose the pace    Who bow for grace,     At the Inn of the Silver Moon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can work me damage except myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can work me damage except myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2377]]></link><description><![CDATA[First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was no great disparity of years, Though much in temper; but they never clash'd,  They moved like stars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26559]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was no great disparity of years, Though much in temper; but they never clash'd,  They moved like stars united in their spheres,   Or like the Rhone by Leman's waters wash'd,    Where mingled and yet separate appears     The river from the lake, all bluely dash'd      Through the serene and placid glassy deep,       Which fain would lull its river-child to sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intend some fear; Be not you spoke with but by mighty suit;  And look you get a prayer book ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intend some fear; Be not you spoke with but by mighty suit;  And look you get a prayer book in your hand   And stand between two churchmen, good my lord,    For on that ground I'll make a holy descant;     And be not easily won to our requests.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17880]]></link><description><![CDATA[And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2445]]></link><description><![CDATA[America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is proof of a bad cause when it is applauded by the mob. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42854]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is proof of a bad cause when it is applauded by the mob.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so reluctant to change?

It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There must be a constant and increasing appreciation that though sin still remains it does not have the mastery.

There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well has the name of Pontifex been given Unto the Church's head, as the chief builder  And architect of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well has the name of Pontifex been given Unto the Church's head, as the chief builder  And architect of the invisible bridge   That leads from earth to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, while he who has one enemy shall meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16976]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, while he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We realized that as a system we could handle those cases ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ in a family-centered way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33224]]></link><description><![CDATA[We realized that as a system we could handle those cases ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ in a family-centered way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we shall be made truly wise if we be content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14976]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we shall be made truly wise if we be content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand--the habit of mind which theologians call--and rightly--faith in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's tough, it's an interesting little play -- part comedy, part serious.

"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child.
