A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't understand why they were waiting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40834]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't understand why they were waiting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With all thy sober charms possest, Whose wishes never learnt to stray. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61783]]></link><description><![CDATA[With all thy sober charms possest, Whose wishes never learnt to stray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come like Water, and like Wind I go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27792]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come like Water, and like Wind I go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ingratitude! thou marble-hearted fiend, More hideous when thou show'st thee in a child  Than the sea-monster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ingratitude! thou marble-hearted fiend, More hideous when thou show'st thee in a child  Than the sea-monster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26854]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The new church of St. John's, on Fifth Avenue, was thronged the morning of the last Sunday of October, in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4624]]></link><description><![CDATA[The new church of St. John's, on Fifth Avenue, was thronged the morning of the last Sunday of October, in the year 1880.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9008]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee.Unfortunately, she was just coming home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21335]]></link><description><![CDATA[My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee.Unfortunately, she was just coming home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Orpheus with his lute made trees, And the mountain-tops that freeze, Bow themselves when he did sing. -King Henry VIII. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Orpheus with his lute made trees, And the mountain-tops that freeze, Bow themselves when he did sing. -King Henry VIII.
