But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them. They feel our generosity as oppression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye sees what it brings the power to see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60854]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye sees what it brings the power to see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless what we do is useful, our glory is vain. [Lat., Nisi utile est quod facimus, stulta est gloria.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless what we do is useful, our glory is vain. [Lat., Nisi utile est quod facimus, stulta est gloria.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't turn yourself into your customer, you probably shouldn't be in the ad writing business at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8876]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't turn yourself into your customer, you probably shouldn't be in the ad writing business at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23572]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, sunlit place but it's all jungle here, a wild and savage wilderness that's overrun with ruins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonesome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonesome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expect icy conditions and drive in such a manner.

We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How bright the sunshine dances in its joy, O'er the still flow of this majestic river! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54334]]></link><description><![CDATA[How bright the sunshine dances in its joy, O'er the still flow of this majestic river!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mors sceptra ligonibus aequat. (Death levels sceptre and the law.) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mors sceptra ligonibus aequat. (Death levels sceptre and the law.)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23620]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It helps keep those areas open for future use. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40582]]></link><description><![CDATA[It helps keep those areas open for future use.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ came... in a purpose, ... to manifest himself in the Christian Religion, to all the nations of the world; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ came... in a purpose, ... to manifest himself in the Christian Religion, to all the nations of the world; and therefore, says David, The Lord reigneth, let the Islands rejoice -- the Islands who by reason of their situation, provision, and trading have most means of conveying Christ Jesus over the world.
