The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes all the difference in the world, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41334]]></link><description><![CDATA[It makes all the difference in the world,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53313]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have never intended to 'cut into the pie' of funding for Indian programs and services, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32559]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have never intended to 'cut into the pie' of funding for Indian programs and services,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gossip is the art of saying nothing in such a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gossip is the art of saying nothing in such a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word aerobics comes from two Greek words: aero, meaning "ability to," and bics, meaning "withstand tremendous boredom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4718]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word aerobics comes from two Greek words: aero, meaning "ability to," and bics, meaning "withstand tremendous boredom]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends....
