I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65332]]></link><description><![CDATA[But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the quality of your intent?Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53980]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the quality of your intent?Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.My intent will be evident in the results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It adds to the glory both of soule and body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49557]]></link><description><![CDATA[It adds to the glory both of soule and body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're talking about twenty-something years of professional ball.

As one of the most daring expressed it, the old and hallowed covenant, made by God at the Exodus, would be superseded by a new and higher relation; God would write his law into the hearts of the people; the old drill in outward statutes would disappear, for all men would know God by an inward experience of forgiveness and love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service.
