When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When he said that, I believed him, that he didn't send me here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36311]]></link><description><![CDATA[When he said that, I believed him, that he didn't send me here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extremes meet and there is no better example than the haughtiness of humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extremes meet and there is no better example than the haughtiness of humility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth may sometimes hurt but delusion harms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth may sometimes hurt but delusion harms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He did not arrive at this conclusion by the decent process of quiet, logical deduction, nor yet by the blinding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41527]]></link><description><![CDATA[He did not arrive at this conclusion by the decent process of quiet, logical deduction, nor yet by the blinding flash of glorious intuition, but by the shoddy, untidy process halfway between the two by which one usually gets to know things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secrecy is the chastity of friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A forted residence 'gainst the tooth of time And razure of oblivion. -Measure for Measure.
