I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need  Either man's work, or His own gifts. Who best  Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His state Is kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed,  And post o'er land and ocean without rest;  They also serve who only stand and wait.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Brian can stay out of foul trouble, he's tough to defend in there.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cattle are grazing, Their heads never raising:  There are forty feeding like one! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cattle are grazing, Their heads never raising:  There are forty feeding like one!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our theories of the eternal are as valuable as are those which a chick which has not broken its way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our theories of the eternal are as valuable as are those which a chick which has not broken its way through its shell might form of the outside world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of little children tends towards the formation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of little children tends towards the formation of character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like her because she smiles at me and means it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65743]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like her because she smiles at me and means it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The politicians don't just want your money.
