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[Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330  But how shall we rest in God?

By giving ourselves wholly to Him. If you give yourself by halves, you cannot find full rest -- there will ever be a lurking disquiet in that half which is withheld... All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a statute that says we're exempt from impact fees.

It is the untroubled that are in danger. Trouble in itself is always a claim on love, and God is love. He must deny Himself if He does not come to help the helpless. It is the prisoners, and the blind, and the leper, and the possessed, and the hungry, and the tempest-tossed, who are His special care. Therefore if you are lost and sick and bound, you are just in the place where He can meet you. Blessed are the mourners. They shall be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag; wash it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27680]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag; wash it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the government does not help us, we are ready to take up arms, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36725]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the government does not help us, we are ready to take up arms,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was court-martial in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25513]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was court-martial in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because all the sick do not recover, therefore medicine is not an art. [Lat., Aegri quia non omnes convalescunt, idcirco ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because all the sick do not recover, therefore medicine is not an art. [Lat., Aegri quia non omnes convalescunt, idcirco ars nulla medicina est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart;  To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/433]]></link><description><![CDATA[To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart;  To make mankind, in conscious virtue bold,   Live o'er each scene, and be what they behold--    For this the tragic Muse first trod the stage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon agoal or goals which they really believe in, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon agoal or goals which they really believe in, which they can really committhemselves to, which they can put their whole heart and soul into.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21586]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise.

If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have forty-four defenses for him, but he has forty-five ways to score. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28625]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have forty-four defenses for him, but he has forty-five ways to score.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strength is Happiness.
