The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. 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[The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26279]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy, like fire, soars upward. [Lat., Invidiam, tamquam ignem, summa petere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Envy, like fire, soars upward. [Lat., Invidiam, tamquam ignem, summa petere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor is there any law more just, than that he who has plotted death shall perish by his own plot. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor is there any law more just, than that he who has plotted death shall perish by his own plot. [Lat., Neque enim lex est aequior ulla,  Quam necis artifices arte perire sua.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27138]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62640]]></link><description><![CDATA[A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be great security problems as a result of the U.S. presence, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36206]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be great security problems as a result of the U.S. presence,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   We must remember that our experience of union with God, our feeling of His presence, is altogether accidental and secondary. It is only a side effect of His actual presence in our souls, and gives no sure indication of that presence in any case. For God Himself is above all apprehensions and ideas and sensations, however spiritual, that can ever be experienced by the spirit of man in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool must now and then be right by chance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16335]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool must now and then be right by chance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mayor says he supports the Republican Party, but we do not yet have a bipartisan commission.

He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I look out at the people and they look at me and they're smiling, then I know that I'm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64139]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I look out at the people and they look at me and they're smiling, then I know that I'm loved.
