Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For neither man nor angel can discern Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks  Invisible, except to God alone,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20228]]></link><description><![CDATA[For neither man nor angel can discern Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks  Invisible, except to God alone,   By his permissive will, through heav'n and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point is plain as a pike staff. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48716]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point is plain as a pike staff.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinning is the best part of repentance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53806]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinning is the best part of repentance]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To insist on purity is to baptize instinct, to humanize art, and to deify personality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36188]]></link><description><![CDATA[To insist on purity is to baptize instinct, to humanize art, and to deify personality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drink to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drink to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong you cannot be too conservative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong you cannot be too conservative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a wise father that knows his own child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6028]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a wise father that knows his own child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18226]]></link><description><![CDATA[He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals - Think of using all obstacles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals - Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This doesn't mean that it will remain so strong in the next couple of quarters, but the Federal Reserve cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34763]]></link><description><![CDATA[This doesn't mean that it will remain so strong in the next couple of quarters, but the Federal Reserve cannot sit down and look and wait, because whatever they do today, it takes effect in six to 12 months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Divell never assailes a man, except he find him either void of knowledge, or of the fear of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49833]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Divell never assailes a man, except he find him either void of knowledge, or of the fear of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  What we have been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  What we have been told is how we men can be drawn into Christ -- can become part of that wonderful present which the young Prince of the universe wants to offer to His Father -- that present which is Himself and therefore us in Him. It is the only thing we were made for. And there are strange, exciting hints in the Bible that when we are drawn in, a great many other things in Nature will begin to come right.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item></channel></rss>
