Yet in terms of results in the measurable form of jobs created, lives enriched, communities built, living standards raised, and poverty healed, a handful of capitalists has done infinitely more for mankind than all the self-serving politicians, academics, social workers, and religionists who march under the banner of "compassion".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the good news we have been waiting for! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34969]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the good news we have been waiting for!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56584]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep,  And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth   That sinews bought and sold have ever earn'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Poet without Love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46850]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Poet without Love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you like it or not, history is on our side.

And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly. Only a weak, muddled, or cowardly mind will hesitate to do this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is the soul's consciousness of its Divine relationship and exalted destiny.

It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public opinion is no more than this: what people think that other people think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public opinion is no more than this: what people think that other people think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is joy in work.

He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So here we are again, a few billion miles farther along our mysterious path among the immensities.

What a comfort it is to know the Man in charge of it all. Without Him, it would be easy to think that the whole of time and space, and life itself, are without reason, purpose, or meaning -- as H. G. Wells said, that it is "a bad joke beyond our unterstanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries." With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit.

The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So you've got your face coming forward and his head coming back and they meet. ...
