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. If you limit your choices only to what seemspossible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,and all that is left is a compromise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21711</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[Alas! the slippery nature of tender youth. [Lat., Teneris, heu, lubrica moribus aetas!] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! the slippery nature of tender youth. [Lat., Teneris, heu, lubrica moribus aetas!]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And took for truth the test of ridicule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54224]]></link><description><![CDATA[And took for truth the test of ridicule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealism without realism is impotent.
