Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are the real architects of society. -Harriet Beecher Stowe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women are the real architects of society. -Harriet Beecher Stowe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luck affects everything.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a very, very dark day, not just for this family, but for all of us to know that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37707]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a very, very dark day, not just for this family, but for all of us to know that nothing is really changing here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a beautiful thriller, very, very well written, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29595]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a beautiful thriller, very, very well written,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have no more right to put our discordant states of mind into the lives of those around us and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9241]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no more right to put our discordant states of mind into the lives of those around us and rob them of their sunshine and brightness than we have to enter their houses and steal their silverware.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hence ye profane; I hate ye all; Both the great vulgar, and the small. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hence ye profane; I hate ye all; Both the great vulgar, and the small.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47224]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We beat Dallas at home.

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are four kinds of people, three of which are to be avoided and the fourth cultivated: those who don't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48597]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are four kinds of people, three of which are to be avoided and the fourth cultivated: those who don't know that they don't know; those who know that they don't know; those who don't know that they know; and those who know that they know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye will have his part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49841]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye will have his part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49841</guid></item></channel></rss>
