Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary goal of a vendor is to make money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64344]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primary goal of a vendor is to make money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Customer needs have an unsettling way of not staying satisfied for very long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Customer needs have an unsettling way of not staying satisfied for very long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59769]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without faith, hope and trust, there is no promise for the future, and without a promising future, life has no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without faith, hope and trust, there is no promise for the future, and without a promising future, life has no direction, no meaning and no justification.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fool me no fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fool me no fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can the believing husband in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving wife in Hell?

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One party is aggrieved and is seeking redress.

There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687  The desire for certitude is natural enough and explains the human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687  The desire for certitude is natural enough and explains the human tendency to mistake faith for certainty. This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You two are book-men. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
