But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business. - The American Character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23550]]></link><description><![CDATA[You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power is poison.

Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that goeth farre hath many encounters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49343]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that goeth farre hath many encounters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 2. the ministry of meekness   He who would learn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 2. the ministry of meekness   He who would learn to serve must first learn to think little of himself... Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is as real as a dream.

And if your prayer is only a form of words, made by the skill of other people, such a prayer can no more change you into a good man, than an actor upon the stage, who speaks kingly language, is thereby made to be a king: whereas one thought, or word, or look, towards God, proceeding from your own heart, can never be without its proper fruit, or fail of doing a real good to your soul. Again, another great and infallible benefit of this kind of prayer is this; it is the only way to be delivered from the deceitfulness of your own hearts.
