The truth is hardly less the loser because the inquisitor has altered his methods. All of us who seek to explore the wide reaches of God's revelation, and strive to bring the thinking of others under the domination of Christ, do well to seek first to bring our own rhetorical techniques under that same dominion -- under the discipline, that is, of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a little like wrestling a gorilla.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22910]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many kisse the hand they wish cut off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many kisse the hand they wish cut off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26049]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Provoking, isn't it? that when one is most in need of sensible words, one finds them not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Provoking, isn't it? that when one is most in need of sensible words, one finds them not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children.
