Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17274]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because it lacks the element of outrage, the modern church needs to be reminded that, if her life and institutions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because it lacks the element of outrage, the modern church needs to be reminded that, if her life and institutions are being strangled by a dying culture, then she is choking on the very truths which she has herself betrayed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She nourishes the poison in her veins and is consumed by a secret fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51825]]></link><description><![CDATA[She nourishes the poison in her veins and is consumed by a secret fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now is the time for all good men to come to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now is the time for all good men to come to.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the first quarter we were a little slow to get into our motion.
