When you make a choice, you mobilizevast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped. All toooften people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore theirchoices are ineffective.

With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17759]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11122]]></link><description><![CDATA[My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We recognize that Ms. Love has a serious problem with substance abuse, but that does not excuse or justify an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35858]]></link><description><![CDATA[We recognize that Ms. Love has a serious problem with substance abuse, but that does not excuse or justify an unwarranted and vicious attack on another human being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man whose life has been dishonourable is not entitled to escape disgrace in death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41125]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man whose life has been dishonourable is not entitled to escape disgrace in death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything I do, I feel is genius.

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[America has been discovered before, but it has always been hushed up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14762]]></link><description><![CDATA[America has been discovered before, but it has always been hushed up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14762</guid></item></channel></rss>
