It is the ability to make decisions and choicesand to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather thanto be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developedthrough the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how touse this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who learns must suffer.

Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66653]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to which you are paying historic homage this evening is a painting which he has saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604  All that which our blessed Saviour wrought in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604  All that which our blessed Saviour wrought in his mortal body, he did it for our example and instruction, to the end that, following his steps, according to our poor ability, we might without offense pass over this present life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, Washington! thou hero, patriot sage, Friend of all climes, and pride of every age! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, Washington! thou hero, patriot sage, Friend of all climes, and pride of every age!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health costs, energy costs, all those things came together like a perfect storm and now the districts really have no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health costs, energy costs, all those things came together like a perfect storm and now the districts really have no choice but to go to referendum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want every peasant to have a chicken in his pot on Sundays. [Fr., Je veux que le dimanche chaque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13198]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want every peasant to have a chicken in his pot on Sundays. [Fr., Je veux que le dimanche chaque paysan ait sa poule au pot.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dynamics of Goal Setting, Success Motivation Institute. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dynamics of Goal Setting, Success Motivation Institute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[if this night is all we have, we'll let sunrise wait for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45653]]></link><description><![CDATA[if this night is all we have, we'll let sunrise wait for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one of the main reasons I came back, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38772]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's one of the main reasons I came back,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas a yellow rose, By that south window of the little house,  My cousin Romney gathered with his hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54425]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas a yellow rose, By that south window of the little house,  My cousin Romney gathered with his hand   On all my birthdays, for me. save the last;    And then I shook the tree too rough, too rough,     For roses to stay after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some big, long, thin boys.
