True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never wrestle with a strong man nor bring a rich man to court. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never wrestle with a strong man nor bring a rich man to court.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Admiration is the daughter of ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lawsuit, however just, can never be rightly prosecuted by any man, unless he treat his adversary with the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7465]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lawsuit, however just, can never be rightly prosecuted by any man, unless he treat his adversary with the same love and good will as if the business under controversy were already amicably settled and composed. Perhaps someone will interpose here that such moderation is so uniformly absent from any lawsuit that it would be a miracle if any such were found. Indeed, I admit that, as the customs of these times go, an example of an upright litigant is rare; but the thing itself, when not corrupted by the addition of anything evil, does not cease to be good and pure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The self-centered regret which a man feels when his sin has found him out -- the wish, compounded of pride, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564]]></link><description><![CDATA[The self-centered regret which a man feels when his sin has found him out -- the wish, compounded of pride, shame, and anger at his own inconceivable folly, that he had not done it: these are spoken of as repentance. But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66607]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have been lots of players in history that have had a combination of skill and scoring ability and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39657]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have been lots of players in history that have had a combination of skill and scoring ability and the ability to grind it out and play a physical way.

The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger blows out the lamp of the mind.
