This assumption is quite erroneous...The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48160]]></link><description><![CDATA[A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . .

Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.My intent will be evident in the results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You either love or you hate.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is news that stays news. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is news that stays news.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mutually giving and receiving aid, They set each other off, like light and shade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mutually giving and receiving aid, They set each other off, like light and shade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crime, like disease, is not interesting; it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crime, like disease, is not interesting; it is something to be done away with by general consent, and that is all about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61516]]></link><description><![CDATA[The welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chris looked pretty good, I thought, in two playoff games.
