What, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the Proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and over-spreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ridicule is like a wolf: it only destroys those who fear it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is like a wolf: it only destroys those who fear it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57271]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
