The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the transmission of civilization. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the transmission of civilization.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It actually took me a year to learn how to play running back - to understand what they were doing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41476]]></link><description><![CDATA[It actually took me a year to learn how to play running back - to understand what they were doing defensively and then what our guys were doing every single play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to move to a countywide system.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, in room or by the sea, Accept this service that I do -- I do it unto Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ingratitude's a weed of every clime, It thrives too fast at first, but fades in time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ingratitude's a weed of every clime, It thrives too fast at first, but fades in time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43773]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power of God is the worship He inspires.
