Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is most powerful who governs himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51149]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is most powerful who governs himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are people who are choosing between food or paying the rent, people who are choosing between food and buying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33384]]></link><description><![CDATA[These are people who are choosing between food or paying the rent, people who are choosing between food and buying their child a pair of shoes, food and heat in the wintertime.

The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a simple Buddhist monk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4962]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a simple Buddhist monk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Verse sweetens toil, however rude the sound; She feels no biting pang the while she sings,  Nor as she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Verse sweetens toil, however rude the sound; She feels no biting pang the while she sings,  Nor as she turns the giddy wheel around,   Revolves the sad vicissitudes of things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds, and though a late, a sure reward succeeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds, and though a late, a sure reward succeeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While global economic growth rates have slowed from the exceptionally high levels of 2004, the emerging economies remain buoyant, offsetting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33801]]></link><description><![CDATA[While global economic growth rates have slowed from the exceptionally high levels of 2004, the emerging economies remain buoyant, offsetting slowing industrial production growth in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) nations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman once fallen will shrink from no impropriety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51657]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman once fallen will shrink from no impropriety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt everwithout eror, and nothing we achieve without some measure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt everwithout eror, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude andfallibility we call humanness, we are saved by forgiveness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[I kiss the soil] as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23877]]></link><description><![CDATA[[I kiss the soil] as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is our earthly mother.
