He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never utter these words: 'I do not know this, therefore it is false.'

If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the standing jokes of Congress is that the new Congressman always spends the first week wondering how he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9758]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the standing jokes of Congress is that the new Congressman always spends the first week wondering how he got there and the rest of the time wondering how the other members got there]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drooping along the ground the vine misses its widowed elm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drooping along the ground the vine misses its widowed elm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64227]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be too moral.

Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out from the heart of nature rolled The burdens of the Bible old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out from the heart of nature rolled The burdens of the Bible old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion.
