So, beware of single-tax proposals. The U.S. government blows more money than any single tax can generate. The key is to tax multiple bases, disparate in nature, and with simple flat rates. That is a system both fair and sustatinable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth is what we all have in common. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13115]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth is what we all have in common.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think you can be a success at anything if you think about losing, whether it's in sports or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25564]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think you can be a success at anything if you think about losing, whether it's in sports or in politics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  The type ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  The type of Judaism in which Paul had grown up had become largely traditional: the word of the Lord, the Rabbis held, came to the prophets of old, but we can only preserve and interpret the truth they handed down. Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was overwhelmed not only with his story but by the way he told it.
