Not until men get rid of the thought that it is a poor machine, an expedient for saving them from suffering and pain; not until they get the grand idea of it as the great power of God present in and through the lives of men; not until then does Christianity enter upon its true trial and become ready to show what it can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because the whole area around there has grown we need to increase the capacity so we are basically rebuilding the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because the whole area around there has grown we need to increase the capacity so we are basically rebuilding the old pumping plant.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hatt is not made for one shower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49035]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hatt is not made for one shower.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love fools experiments.
