And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that lies long a bed, his estate feeles it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that lies long a bed, his estate feeles it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage requires a person to prepare 4 types of "Rings": Engagement Ring Wedding Ring, Suffering, Enduring ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage requires a person to prepare 4 types of "Rings": Engagement Ring Wedding Ring, Suffering, Enduring]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's a good joke but we do it much better in England. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23236]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's a good joke but we do it much better in England.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where itlooks impossible, and then gets discouraged. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where itlooks impossible, and then gets discouraged.

It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let your intentions be good - embodied in good thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds - and the world will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let your intentions be good - embodied in good thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds - and the world will be to you a bright and happy place in which to work and play and serve]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3323]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'.
