Avoid a frontal attack on a long established position; instead, seek to turn it by flank movement, so that a more penetrable side is exposed to the thrust of truth. But, in any such indirect approach, take care not to diverge from the truth- for nothing is more fatal to its real advancement than to lapse into untruth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't hit as well, but then again the weather changed a lot from our 3 p.m. game to our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40959]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't hit as well, but then again the weather changed a lot from our 3 p.m. game to our 7:30 p.m. game.

So hopefully those will carry over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is not a bad profession.

But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues We write in water. -King Henry VIII.

When he returned home after a good day's sport, he always gave the Housedog a large share of his spoil. The Hound, feeling much aggrieved at this, reproached his companion, saying, It is very hard to have all this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate on the fruits of my exertions. The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is something which can't be told in a few words.

It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2504]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18194]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think gas prices have had a definite impact on people who do not have a specific destination planned in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40828]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think gas prices have had a definite impact on people who do not have a specific destination planned in advance, ...
