It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60358]]></link><description><![CDATA[I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless, still dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11430]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless, still dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28162]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you.

The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drosselmeier had unwittingly exposed himself to an overdose of reality, and it had destroyed his reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drosselmeier had unwittingly exposed himself to an overdose of reality, and it had destroyed his reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day I work so hardBringin' home my hard earned payTry to love you baby, but you push me away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every day I work so hardBringin' home my hard earned payTry to love you baby, but you push me away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833   We know that one school of psychology already regards religion as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833   We know that one school of psychology already regards religion as a neurosis. When this particular neurosis becomes inconvenient to the government, what is to hinder the government from proceeding to 'cure' It? Such 'cure' will , of course, be compulsory; but under the humanitarian theory it will not be called by the shocking name of Persecution. No one will blame us for being Christians, no one will hate us, no one revile us. The new Nero will approach us with the silky manners of a doctor, and though all will be in fact {compulsory}, all will go on within the unemotional therapeutic sphere where words like 'right' and 'wrong' , or 'freedom' and 'slavery' are never heard. And thus when the command is given, every prominent Christian in the land may vanish overnight into Institutions for the Treatment of the Ideologically Unsound, and it will rest with the expert gaolers to when (if ever) they are to emerge. But it will not be persecution. Even if the treatment is painful, even if it is life-long, even if if it is fatal, that will be only a regrettable accident, the intention was purely therapeutic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. -Henry Peter Broughan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. -Henry Peter Broughan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mia: I'll just be hanging round the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mia: I'll just be hanging round the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise traveler never despises his own country. [It., Un viaggiatore prudente non disprezza mai il suo paese.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59618]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise traveler never despises his own country. [It., Un viaggiatore prudente non disprezza mai il suo paese.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun is new each day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64723]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun is new each day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is interest in Kuwait and Iran regarding cooperation on the issue of restoration, as the dried marshes adversely affects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29818]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is interest in Kuwait and Iran regarding cooperation on the issue of restoration, as the dried marshes adversely affects all three of those countries and others on the [Persian] Gulf.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every intense desire is perhaps a desire to be different from what we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very retro-looking.
