To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm proud to pay taxes in the United States; the only thing is, I could be just as proud for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58666]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm proud to pay taxes in the United States; the only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The White House Web site is and always has been consistent with the OMB guidance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33038]]></link><description><![CDATA[The White House Web site is and always has been consistent with the OMB guidance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some salt of our youth in us. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ajax the great . . . Himself a host. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ajax the great . . . Himself a host.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't row a boat in two directions at the same time ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4414]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't row a boat in two directions at the same time]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were coming off our moratorium, and we had a few shots that just didn't fall for us.

He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there. •Indira Gandhi  I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. •Douglas Adams  There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes. •William Bennett  The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them. •Robert Frost  When work is a pleasure, life is a joy; when work is a duty, life is slavery. •Maksim Gorky  One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. •Elbert Hubbard  It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. •Jerome K Jerome  One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. •Bertrand Russell  Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them. •Lily Tomlin  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment. •Robert Benchley  Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. •Thomas Edison  Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. •Sam Ewing  Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love. •David McCullough  Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. •John G.
