That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's in His Heaven-- All's right with the world! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48680]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's in His Heaven-- All's right with the world!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are not seeing lots of cases of flu. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39765]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are not seeing lots of cases of flu.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not difficult to become a great Greyhound, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38341]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not difficult to become a great Greyhound,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Killing no murder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Killing no murder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61937]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God rest ye, little children; let nothing you affright, For Jesus Christ, your Saviour, was born this happy night;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8643]]></link><description><![CDATA[God rest ye, little children; let nothing you affright, For Jesus Christ, your Saviour, was born this happy night;  Along the hills of Galilee the white flocks sleeping lay,   When Christ, the Child of Nazareth, was born on Christmas Day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1248]]></link><description><![CDATA[At night, when the curtains are drawn and the fire flickers, my books attain a collective dignity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill.
