"Workers, O.K.," I say, "but how can a teacher be quiet all the time and teach anybody anything?"  "Christ was the best," he says, thinking of something. "He lived thirty-three years. Thirty years he kept quiet; three years he talked. Ten to one for keeping quiet.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is King. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27939]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why I don't talk.

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom adapts itself to expediency ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom adapts itself to expediency]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis neither here nor there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51458]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis neither here nor there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any person who recognizes this greatest power... the power to choose.
