At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a tendency over the past election campaigns of shrinking turnout and we are concerned about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34784]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a tendency over the past election campaigns of shrinking turnout and we are concerned about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The game is difficult, expensive and requires an extensive time commitment.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27588]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although it is still early, we are beginning to notice a negative trend in our weekly revisit rates. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although it is still early, we are beginning to notice a negative trend in our weekly revisit rates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866 The deaf may hear the Saviour's voice, The fettered tongue its chains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866 The deaf may hear the Saviour's voice, The fettered tongue its chains may break; But the deaf heart, the dumb by choice, The laggard soul that will not wake, The guilt that scorns to be forgiven -- These baffle e'en the spells of heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average man does not know what to do with this life, yet wants another one which will last forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average man does not know what to do with this life, yet wants another one which will last forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often devotion to virtue arises from sated desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often devotion to virtue arises from sated desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4465]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her attitude toward (Ngai) was of a very caring and patient surrogate mother dealing with a slightly retarded child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her attitude toward (Ngai) was of a very caring and patient surrogate mother dealing with a slightly retarded child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60184]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature.

And the church's response to this current situation will reveal, better than anything else, our faith in God -- or our faithlessness. If we churchmen interpret such pervasive doubt as a threat, then we will do as the church has done so often in the past: we will substitute the church for God, and make our church-centered activities into an ersatz kingdom of God. Our faithlessness will be evident in the easy paraphrase of the hard truth of the gospel, and in the lapse from the critical loyalty that God requires of us, into the vague and corrupting sentimentalism that has so marred American Protestantism. Or the church can interpret the present religious situation as a promise, as God's recall of His people to a new reformation. Our faithfulness to God-in-Christ will be manifest in the willingness to be honest with ourselves and with the gospel. Then we may view the church, not as an end in itself, but as the point of departure into the world for which the Son of God died. Which will it be?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not understand the capricious lewdness of the sleeping mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52189]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not understand the capricious lewdness of the sleeping mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58759]]></link><description><![CDATA[The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go pretty rose, go to my fair, Go tell her all I fain would dare,  Tell her of hope; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go pretty rose, go to my fair, Go tell her all I fain would dare,  Tell her of hope; tell her of spring,   Tell her of all I fain would sing,    Oh! were I like thee, so fair a thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between an optimist and a pessimist?
