It is the prolonged sacrifice of the rights of some persons at the bidding and for the satisfaction of other persons. The ruling idea of the politician - stated rather bluntly - is that those who are opposed to him exist for the purpose of being made to serve his ends, if he can get power enough in his hands to force these ends upon them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brazen helm of daffodillies, With a glitter toward the light.  Purple violets for the mouth,   Breathing perfumes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brazen helm of daffodillies, With a glitter toward the light.  Purple violets for the mouth,   Breathing perfumes west and south;    And a sword of flashing lilies,     Holden ready for the fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule of the road is a paradox quite, If you drive with a whip or a thong;  If ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54243]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rule of the road is a paradox quite, If you drive with a whip or a thong;  If you go to the left you are sure to be right,   If you go to the right you are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now our fate from unmomentous things, may rise like rivers out of little springs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11324]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now our fate from unmomentous things, may rise like rivers out of little springs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you and I were going to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall pass through this world but once.

If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bunch of youngsters entered a Muslim house (in Western Australia) and attacked a lady in the house and later ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29082]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bunch of youngsters entered a Muslim house (in Western Australia) and attacked a lady in the house and later admitted to police that they did that because they are Muslims,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are honest, we freely admit that the Christian system involves difficulties; but so does every other system.

No thoughtful person gives up a position merely because he finds difficulties in it; he does not abandon it until he is able to find other and alternative systems with fewer difficulties... I learned from my professors of philosophy... that, while philosophy might not provide me with a watertight intellectual defense of the Christian faith, it would, if used aright, help me to reveal the weakness of its enemies. By careful analysis it is possible to see that there are glaring weaknesses and non-sequiturs in atheism, naturalism, positivism, scientism, and psychologism. The Christian must be a fighter, for he is always under attack. The Church will not be as strong as it ought to be until each local pastor uses his precious freedom from outside employment in order to become a scholarly participant in the intellectual struggle of our day and generation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not Arafat's business, ...
