You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influence to exert, which are peculiarly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influence to exert, which are peculiarly his, and which no conscience but his own can teach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every change in conditions will make necessary some change in the use of resources, in the direction and kind of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every change in conditions will make necessary some change in the use of resources, in the direction and kind of human activities, in habits and practices. And each change in the actions of those affected in the first instance will require further adjustments that will gradually extend through the whole of society. Every change thus in a sense creates a "problem" for society, even though no single individual perceives it as such; it is gradually "solved" by the establishment of a new overall adjustment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night is the mother of Councels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night is the mother of Councels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  When no tensions are confronted and overcome, because insiders or outsiders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  When no tensions are confronted and overcome, because insiders or outsiders of a certain class or group meet happily among themselves, then the one new thing, peace, and the one new man created by Christ, are missing; then no faith, no church, no Christ, is found or confessed. For if the attribute "Christian" can be given sense from Eph. 2, then it means reconciled and reconciling, triumphant over walls and removing the debris, showing solidarity with the "enemy" and promoting not one's own peace of mind but "our peace"... When this peace is deprived of its social, national, or economic dimensions, when it is distorted or emasculated so much that only "peace of mind" enjoyed by saintly individuals is left -- then Jesus Christ is being flatly denied. To propose, in the name of Christianity, neutrality or unconcern on questions of international, racial, or economic peace -- this amounts to using Christ's name in vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is beneficent.
