This is particularly true when the opportunities for self-advancement are relatively meager, and one's individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for. Such persons sooner or later turn their backs on an individual existence and strive to acquire a sense of worth and a purpose by an identification with a holy cause, a leader, or a movement. The faith and pride they derive from such an identification serve them as substitutes for the unattainable self-confidence and self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a goode booke, kills reason it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a goode booke, kills reason it selfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each year his mighty armies marched forth in gallant show, Their enemies were targets, their bullets they were tow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each year his mighty armies marched forth in gallant show, Their enemies were targets, their bullets they were tow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After that first trout I was alone in there.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the talk slid north, and the talk slid south With the sliding puffs from the hookah-mouth;  Four things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58615]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the talk slid north, and the talk slid south With the sliding puffs from the hookah-mouth;  Four things greater than all things are--   Women and Horses and Power and War.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11800]]></link><description><![CDATA[When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that blows the coals in quarrels he has nothing to do with has no right to complain if the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52687]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that blows the coals in quarrels he has nothing to do with has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For 'tis not good that children should know any wickedness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51421]]></link><description><![CDATA[For 'tis not good that children should know any wickedness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24624]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The landlord's laugh was ready chorus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The landlord's laugh was ready chorus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes convenient. [It., Bello e il rossore, ma e incommodo qualche volta.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4380]]></link><description><![CDATA[The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes convenient. [It., Bello e il rossore, ma e incommodo qualche volta.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is my wish, this is my command, my pleasure is my reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50522]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is my wish, this is my command, my pleasure is my reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is not yet over and hundreds of thousands of people still urgently need to be reached. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is not yet over and hundreds of thousands of people still urgently need to be reached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American people never carry an umbrella.
