Their fellowship existed solely to send out laborers into the harvest. Everyone and everything pointed to that missionary purpose. For them, missions was not an adjunct to church life, it was church life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision and delays are the parents of failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money does all things for reward.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am pleased to be third because this is my best qualifying position so far this year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34878]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am pleased to be third because this is my best qualifying position so far this year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Responsibility and danger do not tend to free or stimulate the average person's mind- rather the contrary; but wherever they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Responsibility and danger do not tend to free or stimulate the average person's mind- rather the contrary; but wherever they do liberate an individual's judgement and confidence we can be sure that we are in the presence of exceptional ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To swear, except when necessary, is becoming to an honorable man. [Lat., In totum jurare, nisi ubi necesse est, gravi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58474]]></link><description><![CDATA[To swear, except when necessary, is becoming to an honorable man. [Lat., In totum jurare, nisi ubi necesse est, gravi viro parum convenit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world, indeed, seems to be weary of the just, righteous, holy ways of God, and of that exactness in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world, indeed, seems to be weary of the just, righteous, holy ways of God, and of that exactness in walking according to His institutions and commands which it will be one day known that He doth require. But the way to put a stop to this declension is not by accommodating the commands of God to the corrupt courses and ways of men. The truths of God and the holiness of His precepts must be pleaded and defended, though the world dislike them here and perish hereafter. His law must not be made to lackey after the wills of men, nor be dissolved by vain interpretations, because they complain they cannot -- indeed, because they will not -- comply with it. Our Lord Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them, and to supply men with spiritual strength to fulfill them also. It is evil to break the least commandment; but there is a great aggravation of that evil in them that shall teach men so to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any boy can get a girl, it takes a man to keep one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any boy can get a girl, it takes a man to keep one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment can be remitted; the crime is everlasting. [Lat., Poena potest demi, culpa perennis erit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10667]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment can be remitted; the crime is everlasting. [Lat., Poena potest demi, culpa perennis erit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Same religion that saves - Damns You ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Same religion that saves - Damns You]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is just like the story of Al Capone.

But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born into this world unarmed---our mind is our only weapon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27528]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are born into this world unarmed---our mind is our only weapon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deeper the sorrow the less tongue it hath. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deeper the sorrow the less tongue it hath.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We told the guys coming in that their pressure was going to be the key and fourth quarter their pressure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38718]]></link><description><![CDATA[We told the guys coming in that their pressure was going to be the key and fourth quarter their pressure got to our guards and we didn't get the ball inside like we did the first three quarters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is the essence of innumerable Biographies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19319]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is the essence of innumerable Biographies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or scientists turned commissars. For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item></channel></rss>
