The process is analogous to using sandbags and loose timbers to protect a house against flood. Writers are vulnerable creatures like anyone else. For what do they have in reality? Not sandbags, not timbers. Just a flimsy reputation and a name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He cannot be vertuous that is not rigorous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49311]]></link><description><![CDATA[He cannot be vertuous that is not rigorous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps even these things, one day, will be pleasing to remember. - Aenid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps even these things, one day, will be pleasing to remember. - Aenid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But, you object, a heart like mine can offer Christ so little -- at best, so poor and pinched and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468]]></link><description><![CDATA[But, you object, a heart like mine can offer Christ so little -- at best, so poor and pinched and stingey a hospitality and such meagre fare; for I have nothing worthy of Him to set before Him, only a kind of affection, real enough at times, but which, at others, can and does so easily forget; only a will, quite unreliable, deplorably unstable; only a faith that is the merest shadow of what His real friends mean when they speak about faith, I know. But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4506]]></link><description><![CDATA[These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended. [Lat., Frangas enim, citius quam corrigas quae ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended. [Lat., Frangas enim, citius quam corrigas quae in pravum induerunt.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to grab some quality teams for this tournament.

Doc Childre, The How To Book of Teen Self Discovery When I start appreciating, I look at it like business. I start by appreciating life itself. After all, life is really a gift. It might not always seem like that's true, but it is. If nothing else, it's a gift of discovery. So I appreciate that! Doc Childre and Sara Paddision, HeartMath Discovery Program What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally. Learning how to appreciate more consistently offers many benefits and applications. Appreciation is an easy heart frequency to activate and it can help shift your perspectives quickly. Learning how to appreciate both pleasant and even seemingly unpleasant experiences is a key to increased fulfillment.
