It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ... It is no use trying to pretend: we may speak of joy and preach about it: but, unless we really have the joy of Christ in our hearts and manifest it, our words will carry no conviction to our hearers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've gotten a lot more people involved (since King's injury).

The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29654]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most people will believe that Arthur Anderson died because (after Enron imploded)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54880]]></link><description><![CDATA[As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the past 15 years or so, ... there has been a shift of some academics who view McCarthy as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over the past 15 years or so, ... there has been a shift of some academics who view McCarthy as crude but his cause correct that communists needed to be weeded out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men pass away, but their deeds abide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men pass away, but their deeds abide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59192]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5455]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Debt is a prolific mother of folly and of crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Debt is a prolific mother of folly and of crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14616]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is his own star, and the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man,  Commands all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is his own star, and the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man,  Commands all light, all influence, all fate,   Nothing to him falls early or too late.    Our acts, our angles are, or good or ill,     Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you focus on results, you will never change.

The number two crumb picked up the song."Might, I'm called. I've done no wrong." Cried the third crumb,"I am Should. Here's our little brother Could and my big sisterWould. Don't punish us for we've been good." And the last crumb, withsome shame, whispered unto God, "My name is Must and with the others,we've been Effie, who isn't alive and never was.
