Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a moderately fast-moving storm and will be out of here pretty much by Saturday, although there might be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32492]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a moderately fast-moving storm and will be out of here pretty much by Saturday, although there might be some lingering storms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give up your seat in a car to a woman, and tread on your neighbor's foot to get even. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17153]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give up your seat in a car to a woman, and tread on your neighbor's foot to get even.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33766]]></link><description><![CDATA[David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the gladness of their gladness when they're glad, And the sadness of their sadness when they're sad;  But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the gladness of their gladness when they're glad, And the sadness of their sadness when they're sad;  But the gladness of their gladness, and the sadness of their sadness,   Are as nothing to their badness when they're bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a program that's working. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28678]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a program that's working.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisedome hath one foot on Land, and another on Sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisedome hath one foot on Land, and another on Sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like Hezekiah's, backward runs The shadow of my days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like Hezekiah's, backward runs The shadow of my days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who gathers thistles, may expect pricks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who gathers thistles, may expect pricks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This glorious raid, like the others before it in New York, Washington and Madrid, has moved our battle right to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29809]]></link><description><![CDATA[This glorious raid, like the others before it in New York, Washington and Madrid, has moved our battle right to the enemy's doorstep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44359]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone according to their talent and every talent according to its work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
