It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A faith to live by, a self to live with, and a purpose to live for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22070]]></link><description><![CDATA[A faith to live by, a self to live with, and a purpose to live for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aspiration sees only one side of every question; possession, many. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aspiration sees only one side of every question; possession, many.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I rise long before day and work till nightfall, when I take a walk and go to bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38836]]></link><description><![CDATA[I rise long before day and work till nightfall, when I take a walk and go to bed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen to advice and accept correction, then in the end you will be wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen to advice and accept correction, then in the end you will be wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you sow, so shall you also reap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48828]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you sow, so shall you also reap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21283]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to them.

The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful.
