Just as love of God begins in listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but lends us His ear. So it is His work that we do for our brother when we learn to listen to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11450]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24065]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some words got me into trouble and others got me out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to make this a little bit of a hotter network, a little bit of a younger network. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35280]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're trying to make this a little bit of a hotter network, a little bit of a younger network.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have beaten off a lot of competition from other clubs to secure Martin's signature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42706]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have beaten off a lot of competition from other clubs to secure Martin's signature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goals are dreams with deadlines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goals are dreams with deadlines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is a borrower and a mimic, life is theatrical and literature a quotation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is a borrower and a mimic, life is theatrical and literature a quotation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18623]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education: The inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education: The inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men shut their doors against the setting sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men shut their doors against the setting sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nigh to a grave that was newly made, Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nigh to a grave that was newly made, Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it is darkest, men see the stars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26301]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it is darkest, men see the stars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be a 'No', ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28267]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be a 'No',]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His thirst he slakes at some pure neighboring brook, Nor seeks for sauce where Appetite stands cook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2895]]></link><description><![CDATA[His thirst he slakes at some pure neighboring brook, Nor seeks for sauce where Appetite stands cook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The painful memories of the past will shape our future; the moments we cherish last forever in a beautiful array ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26986]]></link><description><![CDATA[The painful memories of the past will shape our future; the moments we cherish last forever in a beautiful array of remembrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything can be improved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything can be improved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to the hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free,  Thy voice sounds like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19230]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to the hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free,  Thy voice sounds like a prophet's word,   And in its hollow tones are heard    The thanks of millions yet to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we heard about the hippies, the barely more than boys and girls who decided to try something different... we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19284]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we heard about the hippies, the barely more than boys and girls who decided to try something different... we laughed at them.

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money wants no followers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money wants no followers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heir follows heir, as wave succeeds to wave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heir follows heir, as wave succeeds to wave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given that our first quarter is usually negatively affected by a number of seasonal factors, I am encouraged that these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given that our first quarter is usually negatively affected by a number of seasonal factors, I am encouraged that these positive results reflect a very good start to 2006.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends.
