I don't do that any more but it was good fun, a release. I recommend it to everybody. That's as long as you're not hurting anybody. And find a place where you're not going to be in the way of anything. Oh and don't destroy anything valuable that you'll regret later.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her beads while she numbered, The baby still slumbered,  And smile in her face, as she bended her knee; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her beads while she numbered, The baby still slumbered,  And smile in her face, as she bended her knee;   Oh! bless'd be that warning,    My child, thy sleep adorning,     For I know that the angels are whispering with thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They like being in front.

To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is false zeal to keep truth while wounding charity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62614]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is false zeal to keep truth while wounding charity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes younger girls are a little easier to teach, because the older girls have developed bad habits that are harder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes younger girls are a little easier to teach, because the older girls have developed bad habits that are harder to break.
