We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pink is the color of romance and a friend tells me that the girl with the pink dress at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pink is the color of romance and a friend tells me that the girl with the pink dress at the party is the one who is selected for each dance]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would remind people that the Central Police Precinct is headquartered at the GEC.

Who is my true brother? We cannot always tell whether or not a man believes in Christ; but we can always ask -- Christianity is not a secret society. And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause.
