One day liberty has to be defended against the power of wealth, on another day against the intrigues of politicians, on another against the dead hand of bureaucrats, on another against the patrioter and the militarist, on another against the profiteer, and then against the hysteria and the passions of the mobs, against obscurantism and stupidity, against the criminal and against the overrighteous. In this campaign every civilized man is enlisted till he dies, and he only has known the full joy of living who somewhere and at some time has struck a decisive blow for the freedom of the human spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19841]]></link><description><![CDATA[An two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wolfe must dye in his owne skinne. [The wolf must die in his own skin.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49938]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Wolfe must dye in his owne skinne. [The wolf must die in his own skin.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather give my life than be afraid to give it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10328]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather give my life than be afraid to give it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could have stopped it after they paid me the $50,000.

Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying. After the winter snows a wind of healing blows, And thorns put forth a rose, and lilies cheer us; Life's everlasting spring has robbed death of his sting, Henceforth a cry can bring our Master near us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62593]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now spring returns; but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known;  Dim in my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now spring returns; but not to me returns The vernal joy my better years have known;  Dim in my breast life's dying taper burns,   And all the joys of life with health have flown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If any man claims the Negro should be content ... let him say he would willingly change the color of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14414]]></link><description><![CDATA[If any man claims the Negro should be content ... let him say he would willingly change the color of his skin and go to live in the Negro section of a large city.

Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well does he sleep who knows not that his sleep has been broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well does he sleep who knows not that his sleep has been broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it can to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8901]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it can to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would steal anything I could so we could survive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42270]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would steal anything I could so we could survive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tempest threatens before it comes; houses creak before they fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51196]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tempest threatens before it comes; houses creak before they fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature never makes any blunders, when she makes a fool she means it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature never makes any blunders, when she makes a fool she means it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a passion for ballad. . . .
