History shows this quite clearly. And under these conditions, neither religion nor morality can stop it.When, then, does plunder stop? It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous than labor.It is evident, then, that the proper purpose of law is to use the power of its collective force to stop this fatal tendency to plunder instead of to work. All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . there is no perfect knowledge which can be entitled ours, that is innate; none but what has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55130]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . there is no perfect knowledge which can be entitled ours, that is innate; none but what has been obtained from experience, or derived in some way from our senses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cisco has been slow to adopt SIP.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are . . . robberies that leave man or woman forever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56541]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are . . . robberies that leave man or woman forever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first time or the last time.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't see any signs of anything being wrong.

They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes, the people who are thousands of miles away from you, can make you feel better than people right beside ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes, the people who are thousands of miles away from you, can make you feel better than people right beside you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we areheaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21377]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we areheaded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who will follow precedent, but never create one, is merely an obvious example of the routineer.
