When we ascribe the success of a movement to its faith, doctrine, propaganda, leadership, ruthlessness and so on, we are but referring to instruments of unification and to means used to inculcate a readiness for self-sacrifice. It is perhaps impossible to understand the nature of a mass movement unless it is recognized that their chief preoccupation is to foster, perfect and perpetuate a facility for united action and self-sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sagacious reader who is capable of reading between these lines what does not stand written in them, but is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53011]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sagacious reader who is capable of reading between these lines what does not stand written in them, but is nevertheless implied, will be able to form some conception.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O be very sure That no man will learn anything at all,  Unless he first will learn humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20025]]></link><description><![CDATA[O be very sure That no man will learn anything at all,  Unless he first will learn humility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65739]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, we all stumble, every one of us.
