He took theAss home and put him in the straw-yard with his other Asses, uponwhich the new animal left all the others and at once joined theone that was most idle and the greatest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man put a halter on him and led him back to hisowner. On being asked how, in so short a time, he could havemade a trial of him, he answered, I do not need a trial; I knowthat he will be just the same as the one he chose for hiscompanion. A man is known by the company he keeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2187]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the tag-rag people did not clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased and displeased them. . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51277]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the tag-rag people did not clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased and displeased them. . . .

That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66006]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.

We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are but as the instrument of Heaven. Our work is not design, but destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12069]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are but as the instrument of Heaven. Our work is not design, but destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64767]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is reason gone mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor is reason gone mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63497</guid></item></channel></rss>
