I say, still whispering at him in this hoarse voice.  "We are teachers and workers," he says, "not talkers."  "Workers, O.K.," I say, "but how can a teacher be quiet all the time and teach anybody anything?"  "Christ was the best," he says, thinking of something. "He lived thirty-three years. Thirty years he kept quiet; three years he talked. Ten to one for keeping quiet.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not afraid of death; but dying scares the hell out of me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not afraid of death; but dying scares the hell out of me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade. Can you imagine "common sense" surpassing science and technology in the quest to unravel the human stress mess? In time, society will have a new measure for confirming truth. It's inside the people-not at the mercy of current scientific methodology. Let scientists facilitate discovery, but not invent your inner truth.

Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Greatness consists in trying to be great.

To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ.

For the Lord made a Nosegay in the meadow with his disciples and preached upon the lily. For the flowers have great virtues for all senses.
