There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You basically should not throw a breaking ball, any type of breaking ball, including a slider, until you shave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37037]]></link><description><![CDATA[You basically should not throw a breaking ball, any type of breaking ball, including a slider, until you shave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47569]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is not left to stand alone.

It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss.
