All struggles after union, though they may be of the most abortive kind, though they may produce fresh sects and fresh divisions, though they must do so as long as they rest on the notion that unity is something visible and material, yet indicate a deep and divine necessity which men could not be conscious of in their dreams if they were not beginning to wake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My love for you

We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13623]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency--clear disinterested thinking and fearless action along the right lines of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fatigue makes cowards of us all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fatigue makes cowards of us all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pity is best taught by fellowship in woe ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pity is best taught by fellowship in woe]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love me or hate me, but spare me your indifference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love me or hate me, but spare me your indifference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you build a better mousetrap, you will catch better mice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9546]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you build a better mousetrap, you will catch better mice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All good is hard.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23665]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people in America believe that if you are pro-choice that means pro-abortion.
