Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the Day of Judgment, we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7790]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the Day of Judgment, we shall not be asked what we have read, but what we have done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Cause of Women is generally the Cause of Virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Cause of Women is generally the Cause of Virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13824]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He deliberately thrusts his silly head into the matrimonial halter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50444]]></link><description><![CDATA[He deliberately thrusts his silly head into the matrimonial halter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have.

Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm pushing hard for affordable housing.

Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that ongoing year-over-year improvement in GM North American operations should accelerate as we progress though 2006 and, coupled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39184]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that ongoing year-over-year improvement in GM North American operations should accelerate as we progress though 2006 and, coupled with conclusion of the Delphi labor dispute, lead to a strong positive reaction in the company's stock price over time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Earth's great market where Joy is trafficked in, Buy while thy purse yet swells with golden Youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23435]]></link><description><![CDATA[At Earth's great market where Joy is trafficked in, Buy while thy purse yet swells with golden Youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17464]]></link><description><![CDATA[A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have had my labour for my travail. -Troilus and Cressida.
