Christ stated emphatically that it was quite impossible, in the nature of things, for a man to be at peace with God and at variance with his neighbor. This disquieting fact is often hushed up, but it is undeniable that Christ said it, and the truth of it is enshrined in the petition for forgiveness in the "Lord's Prayer.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation.

If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no way this bank should be sold at this price because all the information about the business of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29909]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no way this bank should be sold at this price because all the information about the business of the bank, about the balance sheet, clearly states that this bank should be sold around the 61 to 65 (pound per share) level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Especially for my father it was a great change.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65585]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . .
