It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a municipal railroad that connects to BNSF and UP.

No one can well believe that our piety is sincere, when our behavior is lax and irregular in its little details. What probability is there that we should not hesitate to make the greatest sacrifices, when we shrink from the smallest?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The simplest questions are the most profound.

But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We deem this action representative of a market that has lost the flurry of last week's panic buying and instead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32937]]></link><description><![CDATA[We deem this action representative of a market that has lost the flurry of last week's panic buying and instead is rethinking its view as to the near-term motivation of the Fed and the impact of Katrina.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32767]]></link><description><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we can balance our budget and build these facilities we can really be a jewel in this institution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32233]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we can balance our budget and build these facilities we can really be a jewel in this institution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A new broome sweepeth cleane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50606]]></link><description><![CDATA[A new broome sweepeth cleane.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26325]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more audacious than these women when detected; they assume anger, and take courage from the very crime itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more audacious than these women when detected; they assume anger, and take courage from the very crime itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural abilities can almost compensate for the want of every kind of cultivation, but no cultivation of the mind can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/88]]></link><description><![CDATA[Natural abilities can almost compensate for the want of every kind of cultivation, but no cultivation of the mind can make up for the want of natural abilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/88</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each story I've written starts out as a vague idea that seems to be going nowhere, then suddenly materializes as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each story I've written starts out as a vague idea that seems to be going nowhere, then suddenly materializes as a completed concept.
