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[I'm quite happy with where we are considering we lost six seniors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40439]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm quite happy with where we are considering we lost six seniors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you give yourself, you receive more than you give. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64352]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew I could play, ...
