Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550  It might help us in our thinking if we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550  It might help us in our thinking if we drew a distinction between preaching, which the New Testament talks about as a continuing activity in society at large, and sermonising, which we have made into a special activity in the church premises... A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where is it written in the Constitution that you may take children from their parents, and parents from their children, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where is it written in the Constitution that you may take children from their parents, and parents from their children, and compel them to fight the battles of any war in which the folly or wickedness of government may engage it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59493]]></link><description><![CDATA[A determined soul will do more with a rusty monkey wrench than a loafer will accomplish with all the tools in a machine shop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25533]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61689]]></link><description><![CDATA[If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23277]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was not made of common calf, Nor ever meant for country loon;  If with an axe I seem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56208]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was not made of common calf, Nor ever meant for country loon;  If with an axe I seem cut out,   The workman was no cobbling clown;    A good jack boot with double sole he made,     To roam the woods, or through the rivers wade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63716]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She has a passion for teaching and for children, a creative mind and limitless energy.
