The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine, a bit of unscheduled plea]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This strange disease of modern life, with its sick hurry, its divided aims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56996]]></link><description><![CDATA[This strange disease of modern life, with its sick hurry, its divided aims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women flirt to keep their stock high, men to get somewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women flirt to keep their stock high, men to get somewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62872</guid></item></channel></rss>
