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[One who has lost confidence can lose nothing more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9710]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who has lost confidence can lose nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot spare the luxury of believing that all things beautiful are what they seem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot spare the luxury of believing that all things beautiful are what they seem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have the courage to live.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are made to persist.
