Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22907]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Endangered Species Act has been a dismal failure, and in 25 years the act has yet to bring a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38994]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Endangered Species Act has been a dismal failure, and in 25 years the act has yet to bring a single species off the list into recovery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to follow the game plan.

The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each year his mighty armies marched forth in gallant show, Their enemies were targets, their bullets they were tow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each year his mighty armies marched forth in gallant show, Their enemies were targets, their bullets they were tow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why waste negative entropy on comments, when you could use the same entropy to create bugs instead? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why waste negative entropy on comments, when you could use the same entropy to create bugs instead?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can read this, thank a teacher. -Anonymous teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13541]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can read this, thank a teacher. -Anonymous teacher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have no critics you'll likely have no success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22364]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It brings attention back to a lot of the risks in pharmaceuticals right now with regards to drug safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35451]]></link><description><![CDATA[It brings attention back to a lot of the risks in pharmaceuticals right now with regards to drug safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35451</guid></item></channel></rss>
