Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them... Listening can be a greater service than speaking... One who cannot listen long and patiently will presently be talking beside the point and be never really speaking to others. Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you any relation to your brother Marv?(spoken to announcer Steve Albert) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you any relation to your brother Marv?(spoken to announcer Steve Albert)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to get healthy.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's never committed any acts in the United States. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42216]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's never committed any acts in the United States.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is like a bowl of Jelly Beans...
