He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5820]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women prefer emotions to reasoning ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women prefer emotions to reasoning]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we found was that age was a significant predictor in Bt corn adoption.

All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand.

The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boxing has become America's tragic theater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boxing has become America's tragic theater.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17711]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17711</guid></item></channel></rss>
