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[The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation ofsuccess, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation ofsuccess, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, andthat people can only experience true success and enduring happiness asthey learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18204]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20918]]></link><description><![CDATA[No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change afact, then you are residing on another planet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21487]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change afact, then you are residing on another planet with a different realitysystem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.
