It is not enough for the Church to be engaged with the State in healing social ills, though this is important at times. But when the world can turn around and see a group of God's people exhibiting substantial healing in the area of human relationships in their present life, then the world will take notice. Each group of Christians is, as it were, a pilot plant, showing that something can be done in the present situation, if only we begin in the right way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the cross, her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother, weeping,  Where He hung, the dying Lord.   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43194]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the cross, her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother, weeping,  Where He hung, the dying Lord.   [Lat., Stabat mater, dolorosa    Juxta crucem lacrymosa     Que pendebat Filius.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These violent delights have violent ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60693]]></link><description><![CDATA[These violent delights have violent ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[La ligne, avec sa canne, est un long instrument, Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit reptile,  Et ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16116]]></link><description><![CDATA[La ligne, avec sa canne, est un long instrument, Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit reptile,  Et dont l'autre est tenu par un grand imbecile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a part of all that I have seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21580]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a part of all that I have seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3460]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9425]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find the medicine worse than the malady. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26677]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find the medicine worse than the malady.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Midwest has always been rough, but the East Coast and the Carolinas have been good to us.
