He was never for one moment of any day out of touch with God. He was speaking and listening to the Father all day long; and yet He, who was in such constant touch with God, felt the need, as well as the joy, of more prolonged and more quiet communion with Him... Most of the reasons that drive us to pray for strength and forgiveness could never have driven Him; and yet He needed prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Handsome features are a silent recommendation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Handsome features are a silent recommendation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is, To have a thankless child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51336]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is, To have a thankless child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cowslips tall her pensioners be. In their gold coats spots you see:  Those be rubies, fairy favors;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10543]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cowslips tall her pensioners be. In their gold coats spots you see:  Those be rubies, fairy favors;   In those freckles live their savors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is the perfection of a point of view ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is the perfection of a point of view]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stricter standards and independent, often conclusive, evidence in the physical sciences cannot be generalized to intellectual activity as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stricter standards and independent, often conclusive, evidence in the physical sciences cannot be generalized to intellectual activity as a whole, even though the aura of scientific processes and results is often appropriated by other intellectuals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would do a tour into the elementary schools every year, and then we did another kind of program where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28886]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would do a tour into the elementary schools every year, and then we did another kind of program where upper level students were brought into E.J.

Abraham Lincoln  There is no little enemy. •Benjamin Franklin  The friend of my enemy is my enemy. •Anonymous   With friends like this, who needs enemies? •Henny Youngman   It is impossible for one person to know another so well that he can dispense with belief. •Friedrich Durrenmatt   The quarrels of friends are the opportunities of foes. •Aesop   The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy. •Sam Levenson  It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. •William Blake  He hasn't an enemy in the world - but all his friends hate him. •Eddie Cantor  You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. •Eric Hoffer  I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business. •Bette Davis  It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. •Sally Kempton  We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection. •Ricther  Mankind's worst enemy is fear of work. •Anonymous  Enemies promises were made to be broken. •Aesop   The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts. •William Ellery Channing   You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. •Joseph Conrad   Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. •R A Dickson   I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. •Benjamin Franklin   A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends. •Baltasar Gracian   I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies all right. But my damn friends. They're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights! •Warren Gamaliel Harding   Man's chief enemy is his own unruly nature and the dark forces put up within him. •Ernest Jones   Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. •John F. Kennedy   Only enemies speak the truth. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. •Stephen King   Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves. •Francois De La Rochefoucauld   There is no stronger bond of friendship than a mutual enemy. •Frankfort Moore   He who lives by fighting with an enemy has an interest in the preservation of the enemy's life. •Friedrich Nietzsche   Bear patiently with a rival. •Ovid   Talk well of your friends and of your enemies say nothing. •Proverb   Was it a friend or foe that spread these lies? Nay, who but infants question in such wise, 'twas one of my most intimate enemies. •Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Remember, to them it is us who are the enemy. •N. F. Simpson   Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right. •Gordon Sumner   One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good. •Jonathan Swift   In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travellers pay the expense of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65118]]></link><description><![CDATA[The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travellers pay the expense of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And far and wide, in a scarlet tide, The poppy's bonfire spread. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47694]]></link><description><![CDATA[And far and wide, in a scarlet tide, The poppy's bonfire spread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong.
