It is hard, under the pressure of haste, uneasiness, ill-temper, self-complacency, and conceit, to continue intending justice. Power corrupts; the "insolence of office" will creep in. We see it so clearly in our superiors; is it unlikely that our inferiors see it in us? How many of those who have been over us did not sometimes (perhaps often) need our forgiveness? Be sure that we likewise need the forgiveness of those that are under us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat only has nine lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26138]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat only has nine lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As good as a play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/416]]></link><description><![CDATA[As good as a play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wind's in the east. . . .

Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have more cargo coming in than last year, largely because of the end of textile and apparel quotas, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34655]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have more cargo coming in than last year, largely because of the end of textile and apparel quotas, but it's flowing much more smoothly from the ships to the stores than we saw in 2004,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Geese appear high over us,pass, and the sky closes.
