Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it. Would the world be able to explain it better than the Christians, who said it was the living power of the risen Saviour?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10474]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man sleepes, his head is in his stomach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50065]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man sleepes, his head is in his stomach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58724]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nationality is respectable only when it is on the defense, when it is waging wars of liberation it is sacred; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nationality is respectable only when it is on the defense, when it is waging wars of liberation it is sacred; when those of domination it is accursed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4662]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to be kind of tight.

She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.
