But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the early sixties, we were strong, we were virulent... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27889]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the early sixties, we were strong, we were virulent...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And they were canopied by the blue sky, So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,  That God alone was to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56510]]></link><description><![CDATA[And they were canopied by the blue sky, So cloudless, clear, and purely beautiful,  That God alone was to be seen in Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest story of the year is clearly the record-breaking hurricane season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest story of the year is clearly the record-breaking hurricane season.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We came off two tough games and just came out flat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35496]]></link><description><![CDATA[We came off two tough games and just came out flat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change is the end result of all true learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change is the end result of all true learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely the fact that a uniformed police officer is wearing his hair below his collar will make him no less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely the fact that a uniformed police officer is wearing his hair below his collar will make him no less identifiable as a policeman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5647]]></link><description><![CDATA[What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an authority so high [as Scripture], admit but one officious lie, and there will not remain a single passage ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8446]]></link><description><![CDATA[In an authority so high [as Scripture], admit but one officious lie, and there will not remain a single passage of those apparently difficult to practice or to believe, which on the same most pernicious rule may not be explained as a lie uttered by the author willfully to serve a purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wanted to be the role model, to be the leader of the team.

As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay "in kind" somewhere else in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18171]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay "in kind" somewhere else in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The market has not stabilized yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The market has not stabilized yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/760]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65334]]></link><description><![CDATA[For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, their speed up front was something we weren't ready for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, their speed up front was something we weren't ready for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[If something better] is out there, then we'll keep them, ...

And what He does is to come to each soul partaking in the Sacrament and to assure it that He stands to the best and biggest of His promises and to the fullness of His grace in Christ... de-universalizes the Scriptures and individualizes them, makes them a personal promise, couched no longer in general terms but offered to very you and very me, as individually as if they covered no other but referred to you and me alone. We may be cold and dead and unresponsive. None the less, something happens in the Sacrament. For God stands to His side of the Covenant, whether we stand to ours or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kindest man, The best-condition'd and unwearied spirit In doing courtesies. -The Merchant of Venice.
