Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lifetime is more than sufficiently long for people to get what there is of it wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24854]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lifetime is more than sufficiently long for people to get what there is of it wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are not to do evil that good may come of it. [Lat., Non faciat malum, ut inde veniat bonum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10666]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are not to do evil that good may come of it. [Lat., Non faciat malum, ut inde veniat bonum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always do your best.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God bless us every one, prayed Tiny Tim, Crippled and dwarfed of body yet so tall  Of soul, we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4321]]></link><description><![CDATA[God bless us every one, prayed Tiny Tim, Crippled and dwarfed of body yet so tall  Of soul, we tiptoe earth to look on him,   High towering over all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To know one's self is wisdom, but not to know one's neighbors is genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66246]]></link><description><![CDATA[To know one's self is wisdom, but not to know one's neighbors is genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were there no hearers, there would be no backbiters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were there no hearers, there would be no backbiters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not necessary to change.
