The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they came to John Tyler they were really disappointed that they had to go there and they felt really ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29025]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they came to John Tyler they were really disappointed that they had to go there and they felt really unwanted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897  He said: that in order to form a habit of conversing with God continually, and referring all we do to Him; we must first apply to Him with some diligence: but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent--the power to do the right thing the first time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent--the power to do the right thing the first time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no original truth, only original error. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53390]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no original truth, only original error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not good enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10578]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not good enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11552]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never confuse movement with action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never confuse movement with action.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're saying Big Tobacco is going to be held to account for their products, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35509]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we're saying Big Tobacco is going to be held to account for their products,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human things are subject to decay, And when fate summons, monarchs must obey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15390]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human things are subject to decay, And when fate summons, monarchs must obey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree.

The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vertue never growes old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vertue never growes old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crime wouldn't pay if the government ran it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crime wouldn't pay if the government ran it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is seldom that the miserable of the world can help regarding their misery as a wrong inflicted by those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42774]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is seldom that the miserable of the world can help regarding their misery as a wrong inflicted by those who are less miserable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461]]></link><description><![CDATA[God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of all conflicts.

Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived.
