The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The divide of race has been America's constant curse.

Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world. These obsessions cripple both those who are hated and, of course, those who hate, robbing both of what they might become.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither art thou the man to catch the fiend and hold him! [Ger., Du bist noch nicht der Mann den ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47945]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither art thou the man to catch the fiend and hold him! [Ger., Du bist noch nicht der Mann den Teufel festzuhalten.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You brain shall be your servant instead of your master, You will rule it instead of allowing it to rule ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10061]]></link><description><![CDATA[You brain shall be your servant instead of your master, You will rule it instead of allowing it to rule you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23965]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tony (Queen) and Ray (String) did a phenomenal job defensively on Hurtado.

Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of posterity is to look after itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19456]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of posterity is to look after itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, let's have one other gaudy night.
