I'm not saying we invented it -- we drew influence from the Damned and the Misfits -- but it wasn't very popular when we started doing it.

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that labours and thrives spins gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that labours and thrives spins gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is a creature that needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35166]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is a creature that needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65857]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no such thing, isn't that right Mr Geary? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38434]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no such thing, isn't that right Mr Geary?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures earlyin life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22694]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures earlyin life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46517]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own.
