In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not strength, but art, obtains the prize, And to be swift is less than to be wise.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3186]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not strength, but art, obtains the prize, And to be swift is less than to be wise.  'Tis more by art, than force of numerous strokes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain have you acquired knowledge if you have notimparted it to others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21692]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain have you acquired knowledge if you have notimparted it to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinke of ease, but worke on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinke of ease, but worke on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man can seldom -- very, very, seldom -- fight a winning fight against his training; the odds are too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61694]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man can seldom -- very, very, seldom -- fight a winning fight against his training; the odds are too heavy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
