Knock, therefore, at the door before you enter upon your neighbor's privacy: and remember, that there is no difference between entering his house and looking into it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other in practice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most married couples, even though they love each other very much in theory, tend to view each other in practice as large teeming flaw colonies, the result being that they get on each other's nerves and regularly erupt into vicious emotional shouting matches over such issues as toaster settings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish there were more humor in my work than I see in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66364]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish there were more humor in my work than I see in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the volume is up to over 100 decibels, even one and a half or two hours of use can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31793]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the volume is up to over 100 decibels, even one and a half or two hours of use can cause damage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you in earnest?

([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to send the injured reserve players out for the toss next time. (after the team's cocaptain, offensive guard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57565]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm going to send the injured reserve players out for the toss next time. (after the team's cocaptain, offensive guard Robert Pratt, pulled a hamstring running onto the field for the coin toss against St. Louis)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are frequently advised to read the Bible with our own personal needs in mind, and to look for answers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are frequently advised to read the Bible with our own personal needs in mind, and to look for answers to our own private questions. That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16882]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators save only he  Did that they did in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44585]]></link><description><![CDATA[This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators save only he  Did that they did in envy of great Caesar;   He, only in a general honest thought    And common good to all, made one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am very settled in the North East now.
