What looks like a giving hand is often a holding on for dear life. Take away our holy duties and you leave our lives puny and meaningless. There is no doubt that in exchanging a self-centered for a selfless life we gain enormously in self-esteem. The vanity of the selfless, even those who practice utmost humility, is boundless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life imitates art far more than art imitates life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainly, if they are going to be calling the games the way they have been, then our power play is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainly, if they are going to be calling the games the way they have been, then our power play is going to have to work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes aretaken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22162]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes aretaken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, the opponents of this project have lost in the court of public opinion.

He has taken a cheerful view of the prospects of the race and of the future of human history, staying his soul upon the promise of further "evolution" of the human individual, the continuous upward progress of civilization, or perhaps the confident expectation of a completely revolutionized order of society -- a communist Utopia beyond the class struggle or something else of that same general kind. Where such hopes remain unchastened by the cold touch of reality, there is little prospect of the Christian Gospel recommending itself to men's minds, and any wordy defense of it is likely to be quite useless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl.
