It is not "making friends and influencing people"-that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. -Peter F.

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are at Rome live in the Roman style; if you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54393]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are at Rome live in the Roman style; if you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere. [Lat., Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more;  Si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gov.
