All struggles after union, though they may be of the most abortive kind, though they may produce fresh sects and fresh divisions, though they must do so as long as they rest on the notion that unity is something visible and material, yet indicate a deep and divine necessity which men could not be conscious of in their dreams if they were not beginning to wake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The religious superstitions of women perpetuate their bondage more than all other adverse influences ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58354]]></link><description><![CDATA[The religious superstitions of women perpetuate their bondage more than all other adverse influences]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Supreme Court arguments and decisions are fascinating to a few of us and really pretty boring to most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32383]]></link><description><![CDATA[Supreme Court arguments and decisions are fascinating to a few of us and really pretty boring to most.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's physical hunger does not prove that that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8552]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's physical hunger does not prove that that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  By giving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  By giving humans freedom of will, the Creator has chosen to limit His own power. He risked the daring experiment of giving us the freedom to make good or bad decisions, to live decent or evil lives, because God does not want the forced obedience of slaves. Instead, He covets the voluntary love and obedience of sons who love Him for Himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which Gad gave Him to do. The only alternative to frustration is to be sure that we are doing what God wants. Nothing substitutes for knowing that this day, this hour, in this place, we are doing the will of the Father. Then and only then can we think of all the other unfinished tasks with equanimity and leave them with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spies are the ears and eyes of Princes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spies are the ears and eyes of Princes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a big advantage to be first on the road. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41113]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a big advantage to be first on the road.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Authority is quite degrading ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Authority is quite degrading]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15637]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17224]]></link><description><![CDATA[A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13400]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A threefold cord is not quickly broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57968]]></link><description><![CDATA[A threefold cord is not quickly broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty awakens the soul to act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty awakens the soul to act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63473]]></link><description><![CDATA[A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man knows more than he understands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man knows more than he understands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope to be profitable later this year, because we keep increasing our prizes as we grow our user base. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35041]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope to be profitable later this year, because we keep increasing our prizes as we grow our user base.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would not be in favor of doing this without notifying the public and hearing more input. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41008]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would not be in favor of doing this without notifying the public and hearing more input.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man wants but little, nor that little long; How soon must he resign his very dust,  Which frugal nature ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man wants but little, nor that little long; How soon must he resign his very dust,  Which frugal nature lent him for an hour!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pleasure companion on a journey is as good as a carriage. [Lat., Comes jucundus in via pro vehiculo est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9124]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pleasure companion on a journey is as good as a carriage. [Lat., Comes jucundus in via pro vehiculo est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. •Vince Lombardi  or •Donald Kendall  My grandfather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62161]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. •Vince Lombardi  or •Donald Kendall  My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there. •Indira Gandhi  I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. •Douglas Adams  There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes. •William Bennett  The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them. •Robert Frost  When work is a pleasure, life is a joy; when work is a duty, life is slavery. •Maksim Gorky  One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. •Elbert Hubbard  It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. •Jerome K Jerome  One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. •Bertrand Russell  Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them. •Lily Tomlin  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment. •Robert Benchley  Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. •Thomas Edison  Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. •Sam Ewing  Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love. •David McCullough  Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. •John G.
