It may be better laid at the door of the church [that] has failed to preach the God of the Bible, heaven and hell, repentance, faith, and eternal life. It can be argued that a society only gets the advertising it deserves. Yet the power to commend certain patterns of spending behaviour to millions with regularity is an open invitation to orchestrate the covetousness, envy, lust, and desire to dominate, which lie in the heart of sinful man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where fall the tears of love the rose appears, And where the ground is bright with friendship's tears,  Forget-me-not, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where fall the tears of love the rose appears, And where the ground is bright with friendship's tears,  Forget-me-not, and violets, heavenly blue,   Spring glittering with the cheerful drops like dew.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our job to make women unhappy with what they have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27013]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our job to make women unhappy with what they have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As proud as Lucifer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48187]]></link><description><![CDATA[As proud as Lucifer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them so much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them so much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there's any animosity between the two sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35837]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think there's any animosity between the two sides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66722]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don\'t back down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Kid and the WolfA kid standing on the roof of a house, out of harm's way, saw a Wolf ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1580]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Kid and the WolfA kid standing on the roof of a house, out of harm's way, saw a Wolf passing by and immediately began to taunt and revile him.

That hope alone explains the Book, giving meaning and consistency to its story. Was it a chimera, an hallucination? According to the prophecy of Micah, the messianic Shepherd of Israel had to be born in Bethlehem. It is unthinkable that an heir to the throne of David could be born in Bethlehem now, and be also able to prove his legitimacy by documentary evidence. The event must clearly have taken place already, or Micah is a false prophet, a raiser of false hopes, along with the other writers in the Old Testament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16555]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers. -Koran.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The force of selfishness is as inevitable and as calculable as the force of gravitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2268]]></link><description><![CDATA[The force of selfishness is as inevitable and as calculable as the force of gravitation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.
