Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him.

It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, Do you remember that night we...? But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives.

He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evaluation and judgment are responses to what exists, sorting the things that pass before us into categories of good, bad, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evaluation and judgment are responses to what exists, sorting the things that pass before us into categories of good, bad, and indifferent. But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5996]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity....
