The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The right to be heard does not autmatically include the right to be taken seriously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The right to be heard does not autmatically include the right to be taken seriously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've told it so many times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41613]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've told it so many times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is grace under pressure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is grace under pressure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calamities are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calamities are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are excited about this step in the franchise registry project.

The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change afact, then you are residing on another planet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21487]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change afact, then you are residing on another planet with a different realitysystem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has to be displayed, this face, on a more or less horizontal plane.

Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face. This is the kind of tyranny which Lawson's face exerts over the rest of his body as he cruises along the corridors.

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parking, traffic, those are issues tied to urban life.
