Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates. [Lat., Fingit equum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58750]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates. [Lat., Fingit equum tenera docilem cervice magister  Ire viam qua monstret eques.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mother may forget the child That smiles sae sweetly on her knee;  But I'll remember thee, Glencairn,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26924]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mother may forget the child That smiles sae sweetly on her knee;  But I'll remember thee, Glencairn,   And all that thou hast done for me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have forty-four defenses for him, but he has forty-five ways to score. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28625]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have forty-four defenses for him, but he has forty-five ways to score.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64436]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man brings his wife flowers for no reason, there's a reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20198]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man brings his wife flowers for no reason, there's a reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not take life too seriously.

The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law cannot persuade where it cannot punish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law cannot persuade where it cannot punish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goths don't identify with evil, we mourn the evil in society.

This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweep on, you fat and greasy citizens; 'Tis just the fashion.
