There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We pulled it out in the end, but it shouldn't have even got to that point with the kind of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36548]]></link><description><![CDATA[We pulled it out in the end, but it shouldn't have even got to that point with the kind of lead we had.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have gone from a minivan to a full-size cargo van to a FedEx delivery truck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41809]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have gone from a minivan to a full-size cargo van to a FedEx delivery truck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met a preacher there I knew, and said, Ill and overworked, how fare you in this scene?  Bravely! ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48066]]></link><description><![CDATA[I met a preacher there I knew, and said, Ill and overworked, how fare you in this scene?  Bravely! said he; for I of late have been   Much cheered with thoughts of Christ, the living bread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions -- it only guarantees equality of opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions -- it only guarantees equality of opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have the ability to know where each other is gonna be.

It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist  The why of natural law is the living Voice of God immanent in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist  The why of natural law is the living Voice of God immanent in His creation. And this word of God which brought all worlds into being cannot be understood to mean the Bible, for it is not a written or printed word at all, but the expression of the will of God spoken into the structure of all things. This word of God is the breath of God filling the world with living potentiality. The Voice of God is the most powerful force in nature, indeed the only force in nature, for all energy is here only because the power-filled Word is being spoken.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's one more terrifying fact about old people: I'm going to be one soon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63387]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's one more terrifying fact about old people: I'm going to be one soon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's pretty brazen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31848]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's pretty brazen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feeling and our manners, and rules us with the imperious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feeling and our manners, and rules us with the imperious hand of a despot]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference is no less real because it is of degree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12214]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference is no less real because it is of degree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10913]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People like me who believe the left can be a moderate forcewe have failed.
