There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31838]]></link><description><![CDATA[I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scarce one tall frigate walks the sea Or skirts the safer shores  Of all that bore to victory  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scarce one tall frigate walks the sea Or skirts the safer shores  Of all that bore to victory   Our stout old Commodores.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43838]]></link><description><![CDATA[We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have betterroad maps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21979]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have betterroad maps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21979</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[The lady doth protest too much, me thinks ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lady doth protest too much, me thinks]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our life is frittered away by detail.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your speech, Bush, is full of lies and full of unreasonable argument, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your speech, Bush, is full of lies and full of unreasonable argument,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human; to forgive, divine. -Alexander Pope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16540]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human; to forgive, divine. -Alexander Pope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50863]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is by nature a civic animal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is by nature a civic animal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And that the Scriptures, though not everywhere Free from corruption, or entire, or clear,  Are uncorrupt, sufficient, clear, entire ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54908]]></link><description><![CDATA[And that the Scriptures, though not everywhere Free from corruption, or entire, or clear,  Are uncorrupt, sufficient, clear, entire   In all things which our needful faith require.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66607]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The palpable obscure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44765]]></link><description><![CDATA[The palpable obscure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42949]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach: Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;  One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;   (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jennifer is an outstanding talent and has been part of a championship volleyball teams throughout her career.
