Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try not to have a good time ...

It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the world's a stage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51232]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the world's a stage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28576]]></link><description><![CDATA[When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and relationships are truly one of the most paradoxical aspects of being human.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Nature had made all her birds, With no more cares to think on,  She gave a rippling laugh ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4419]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Nature had made all her birds, With no more cares to think on,  She gave a rippling laugh and out   There flew a Bobolinkon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two ways of meeting difficulties: You alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to meet them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12256]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two ways of meeting difficulties: You alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to meet them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Firm and erect the Caledonian stood; Sound was his mutton, and his claret good;  "Let him drink port!" the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Firm and erect the Caledonian stood; Sound was his mutton, and his claret good;  "Let him drink port!" the English statesman cried:   He drank the poison, and his spirit died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the wind is against you then start sailing against it because the wind may never change in your favor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45113]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the wind is against you then start sailing against it because the wind may never change in your favor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself thanin any other way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21521]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself thanin any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm focused on going out and competing and winning a starting job.
