God is merciful and kind; he bestows truth, as well as rain and sunshine, upon the just and the unjust. Christ is the "true light that enlightens every man". This bestowal should inspire feelings of joy, not resentment, in the heart of a Christian. Aristotle said many wise things about logic, Confucius many wise things about morals. When a Christian attacks general wisdom in the name of the gospel, the natural man will attack the gospel in the name of general wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3799]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way.

They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the practice began at Maple Creek, and historically we had the greatest number of parents stay overnight at that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39776]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the practice began at Maple Creek, and historically we had the greatest number of parents stay overnight at that school.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39916]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm always on a train or a plane, so wherever I happen to be is home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friend has a baby.
