Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us. Hence it is that people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to preserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change. The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678  Man is challenged to participate in the sufferings of God at the hands of a godless world. He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Above our life we love a steadfast friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Above our life we love a steadfast friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To show the world what long experience gains, Requires not courage, though it calls for pains;  But at life's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14674]]></link><description><![CDATA[To show the world what long experience gains, Requires not courage, though it calls for pains;  But at life's outset to inform mankind   Is a bold effort of a valiant mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1316]]></link><description><![CDATA[When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poor cows frozeneglected in a blizzardThey dug them upand ate their gizzards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18954]]></link><description><![CDATA[The poor cows frozeneglected in a blizzardThey dug them upand ate their gizzards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23020]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the hardest things to forecast.

This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't fix everything, but it would create a more just system. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42177]]></link><description><![CDATA[It doesn't fix everything, but it would create a more just system.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25582]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored. [Lat., Periere mores, jus, decus, pietas, fides,  Et qui redire nescit, cum perit, pudor.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word aerobics comes from two Greek words: aero, meaning "ability to," and bics, meaning "withstand tremendous boredom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4718]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word aerobics comes from two Greek words: aero, meaning "ability to," and bics, meaning "withstand tremendous boredom]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13497]]></link><description><![CDATA[All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The awareness of our own strength makes us modest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every guest hates the others, and the host hates them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every guest hates the others, and the host hates them all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With something that's more emotionally based, you can't sort of screw the line up a little bit and adlib and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37945]]></link><description><![CDATA[With something that's more emotionally based, you can't sort of screw the line up a little bit and adlib and something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the movie, The Boy Who Could Fly Somewhere, deep inside, we can all fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21799]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the movie, The Boy Who Could Fly Somewhere, deep inside, we can all fly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56593]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The English doctrine that all power is a trust for the public good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52513]]></link><description><![CDATA[The English doctrine that all power is a trust for the public good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know what it is like to be devastated and lose everything, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36873]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know what it is like to be devastated and lose everything,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To confess a fault freely is the next thing to being innocent of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9658]]></link><description><![CDATA[To confess a fault freely is the next thing to being innocent of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get - The Future!
