The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One need not obey the rulesif he abandons a meaningless or cruel game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16704]]></link><description><![CDATA[One need not obey the rulesif he abandons a meaningless or cruel game.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew coming in that in order for us to win this game, we would have to get rebounds, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28891]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew coming in that in order for us to win this game, we would have to get rebounds, and to hold the ball on offense.

If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill natures, the more you aske them, the more they stick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill natures, the more you aske them, the more they stick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who asks whether the enemy were defeated by strategy or valor? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who asks whether the enemy were defeated by strategy or valor?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Argentina in particular you have seen a pickup in volatility over the last couple of months, and it has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34537]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Argentina in particular you have seen a pickup in volatility over the last couple of months, and it has to do with the fact that it has higher yields available and longer duration and makes it prone to volatility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53523]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Since riches point to misery and contempt? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Since riches point to misery and contempt?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope the departue is joyful and I hope never to return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11913]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope the departue is joyful and I hope never to return.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without dreams, there can be no courage.

Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Societies that do not eat people are fascinated by those that do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Societies that do not eat people are fascinated by those that do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A drummer is usually like the backbone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30689]]></link><description><![CDATA[A drummer is usually like the backbone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25825]]></link><description><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11257]]></link><description><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimism is the opium of the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimism is the opium of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day will come when, after harnessing the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25898]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day will come when, after harnessing the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of Love.

(4) Frequent prayer an argument of much of God's Spirit; true prayer is the pouring out of the heart to God; God's children are most in private with God; the prayers of God's people most respect spiritual mercies; God's people wait for and rest in God's answer. (5) God's people are sensible of their unworthiness. (6) God Himself is regarded as the portion of His people. (7) Ready obedience to God. (8) The patience of God's children under God's hand. (9) The mournful confession of God's people. (10) God's people long after God in an open profession of His ordinances. (11) Their hearts are ready and prepared.
