That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The statistics seem to reflect that many of the people who sought shelter in and around Houston have decided to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40993]]></link><description><![CDATA[The statistics seem to reflect that many of the people who sought shelter in and around Houston have decided to stay.

If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is satisfied with his fortune, nor dissatisfied with his intellect. [Fr., Nul n'est content de sa fortune;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54724]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is satisfied with his fortune, nor dissatisfied with his intellect. [Fr., Nul n'est content de sa fortune;  Ni mecontent de son esprit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only meaning of life worth caring about is one that can withstand our best efforts to examine it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56965]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only meaning of life worth caring about is one that can withstand our best efforts to examine it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He threw the ball well.

Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59348]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past.
