Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that are not yet, but have to be, understood... Doubt must precede every deeper assurance; for uncertainties are what we first see when we look into a region hitherto unknown, unexplored, unannexed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is prudent to learn what to avoid from the misfortunes of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51621]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is prudent to learn what to avoid from the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I said to myself, 'That's an omen, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37789]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I said to myself, 'That's an omen,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are too sarcastic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50832]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are too sarcastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love orthodoxy.

It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills.

Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The closed door and the sealed lips are prerequisites to tyranny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59990]]></link><description><![CDATA[The closed door and the sealed lips are prerequisites to tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are everything that is, your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true.
