I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Michelle is, without a doubt, one of the best all-around basketball players in the state right now.

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman. -Margaret Thatcher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27208]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman. -Margaret Thatcher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can make whatever you want out of your life, but first you have to not be afraid to try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63077]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can make whatever you want out of your life, but first you have to not be afraid to try.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comedy is tragedy - plus time ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comedy is tragedy - plus time]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66875]]></link><description><![CDATA[The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the hands of a godless world. He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you blame others, you give up your power to change. -Dr. Robert Anthony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5571]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you blame others, you give up your power to change. -Dr. Robert Anthony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems like an innocent act -- trying to start a vehicle -- but by not being properly positioned, you've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31665]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems like an innocent act -- trying to start a vehicle -- but by not being properly positioned, you've got a fatal injury.
