To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As machines get to be more and more like men, men will come to be more like machines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26163]]></link><description><![CDATA[As machines get to be more and more like men, men will come to be more like machines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The free world must now prove itself worthy of its own past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45699]]></link><description><![CDATA[The free world must now prove itself worthy of its own past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Successful leaders have the courage to take action where others hesitate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Successful leaders have the courage to take action where others hesitate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's amazing to me that 16- and 17-year-olds are treated as adults no matter what.

It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices could remain at or above $38 for the next one to two years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prices could remain at or above $38 for the next one to two years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56813]]></link><description><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ever since I was four years old, I loved making people smile, making them think, making them feel good, feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ever since I was four years old, I loved making people smile, making them think, making them feel good, feel some kind of emotion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When force is necessary, it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely.
