Thou art wise when thou art poor, without desire of this world, and despisest thyself for the love of Jesus Christ; and expendeth all thy wit and all thy might in His service. Whoso will love wisely, it behoves him to love lasting things lastingly, and passing things passingly; so that his heart be set and fastened on nothing but in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is there in the vale of life Half so delightful as a wife,  When friendship, love, and peace ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61874]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is there in the vale of life Half so delightful as a wife,  When friendship, love, and peace combine   To stamp the marriage-bond divine?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like these cold, precise, perfect people, who, in order not to speak wrong, never speak at all, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5386]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't like these cold, precise, perfect people, who, in order not to speak wrong, never speak at all, and in order not to do wrong, never do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Armies are not only for offensives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Armies are not only for offensives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Looking good and dressing well is a necessity.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown.

If we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the Butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef. Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fewer facts you have in support of an opinion, the stronger your emotional attachment to that opinion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13737]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fewer facts you have in support of an opinion, the stronger your emotional attachment to that opinion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bravery is believing in yourself, and that thing nobody can teach you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bravery is believing in yourself, and that thing nobody can teach you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know the competition level that they were playing against, but obviously if you're scoring that many points, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38183]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know the competition level that they were playing against, but obviously if you're scoring that many points, you have weapons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal of war is peace, of business, leisure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24627]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal of war is peace, of business, leisure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom is just chaos with better lighting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom is just chaos with better lighting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And let us mind, faint heart ne'er wan A lady fair.  Wha does the utmost that he can  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62002]]></link><description><![CDATA[And let us mind, faint heart ne'er wan A lady fair.  Wha does the utmost that he can   Will whyles do mair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love makes a good eye squint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love makes a good eye squint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They played a triangle-and-two on us.
