Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26742]]></link><description><![CDATA[The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15970]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It just frees you to be more honest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39264]]></link><description><![CDATA[It just frees you to be more honest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We estimate the wisdom of nations by seeing what they did with their surplus capital. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15688]]></link><description><![CDATA[We estimate the wisdom of nations by seeing what they did with their surplus capital.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't fear change, embrace it. -Anthony J.

What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Clinton Administration has seemed to put more concern on scoring political points than advancing serious reform. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38992]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Clinton Administration has seemed to put more concern on scoring political points than advancing serious reform.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the griefs that harass the distress'd, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest;  Fate never wounds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the griefs that harass the distress'd, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest;  Fate never wounds more deep the generous heart,   Than when a blockhead's insult points the dart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With this there grows In my most ill-compos'd affection such  A stanchless avarice that, were I King,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20164]]></link><description><![CDATA[With this there grows In my most ill-compos'd affection such  A stanchless avarice that, were I King,   I should cut off the nobles for their lands,    Desire his jewels, and this other's house,     And my more-having would be as a sauce      To make me hunger more, that I should forge       Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,        Destroying them for wealth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,  This many summers in a sea of glory, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48210]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,  This many summers in a sea of glory,   But far beyond my depth.
