It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweetest Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen Within thy airy shell,  By slow Meander's margent green,   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweetest Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen Within thy airy shell,  By slow Meander's margent green,   And in the violet-embroidered vale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The governor really doesn't control that.

The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63601]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26558]]></link><description><![CDATA[For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My main goal right now is the time trial at worlds and I knew that if I came here and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40265]]></link><description><![CDATA[My main goal right now is the time trial at worlds and I knew that if I came here and beat the time standard for the talent pool, then everything above and beyond was a bonus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Training is useless unless you have a purpose, it's knowing for what purpose to train for that can break men's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Training is useless unless you have a purpose, it's knowing for what purpose to train for that can break men's fulfillment. -Anonymous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity.
