Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61162]]></link><description><![CDATA[War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it. •Benito Mussolini   In time of war the first casualty is truth. •Boake Carter  Only the defeated and deserters go to war. •Henry David Thoreau   All diplomacy is a continuation of war by other means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16734]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire must not be a kind of superfluous ill will, but ill will from a higher point of view.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since love and fear can hardly coexist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since love and fear can hardly coexist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The statute itself is so overly restrictive, he's being denied due process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39133]]></link><description><![CDATA[The statute itself is so overly restrictive, he's being denied due process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't think we need this stuff, but we work hard during the school year, so we reward ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35556]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't think we need this stuff, but we work hard during the school year, so we reward ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31831]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who will not stand for something will fall for anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21193]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person who will not stand for something will fall for anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All we lacked was a goal.
