Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it. Would the world be able to explain it better than the Christians, who said it was the living power of the risen Saviour?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everywhere we lived before used 911. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everywhere we lived before used 911.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gods Mill grinds slow, but sure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gods Mill grinds slow, but sure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65954]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2160]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you judge people, you have no time to love them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which ... is within the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45909]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which ... is within the souls of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ooh, that was just a little phase (smashing plates to relieve pain).

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is make by discounting the obvious and betting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is make by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41407]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice.
