It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, like a deadly blight,  Comes o'er the councils of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, like a deadly blight,  Comes o'er the councils of the brave,   And blasts them in their hour of might!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39646]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[SIN: Self-Inflicted Nonsense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44252]]></link><description><![CDATA[SIN: Self-Inflicted Nonsense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rare is the union of beauty and modesty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rare is the union of beauty and modesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no elevator to success.

Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city is huge.

Cowman  To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment. •James Allen   All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure. •Jean-Paul Sartre   No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward. •Amar Gopal Bose   He was a self-made man who owed his lack of success to nobody. •Joseph Heller   Failure is the tuition you pay for success. •Walter Brunell   Success is never final, but failure can be. •Bill Parcells   Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. •George Washington Carver   I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . .

Failure is a private funeral. •Rosalind Russell   My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. •Abraham Lincoln   Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts. •George R. Tilton   I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. •George S. Patton   There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. •Barbara Ward   Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. •German Proverb   A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. •J. Paul Getty   Failure is not fatal; victory is not success. •Tony Richardson   Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J. Peter   If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless. •Robert H. Schuller   Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor. •Truman Capote   There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient. •Sri Swami Sivananda   Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. •Joe Paterno   Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. •Robert Louis Stevenson   Failures are like skinned knees -- painful, but superficial. •H. Ross Perot   I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure -- which is try to please everybody. •Herbert B. Swope   Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street. •Zig Ziglar  A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13974]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold their nose to the grindstone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold their nose to the grindstone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Christian message is not an exhortation -- "try hard to be good."

But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner  Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo  Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos  Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed  Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer  The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez  For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty  The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock  My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron  In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter  I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt  If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz  The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney  It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman  When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger  If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams  Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it.
