This is particularly true when the opportunities for self-advancement are relatively meager, and one's individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for. Such persons sooner or later turn their backs on an individual existence and strive to acquire a sense of worth and a purpose by an identification with a holy cause, a leader, or a movement. The faith and pride they derive from such an identification serve them as substitutes for the unattainable self-confidence and self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  The ordinary group of worshipping Christians, as the preacher ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  The ordinary group of worshipping Christians, as the preacher sees them from the pulpit, does not look like a collection of very joyful people, in fact, they look on the whole rather sad, tired, depressed people. It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ... It is no use trying to pretend: we may speak of joy and preach about it: but, unless we really have the joy of Christ in our hearts and manifest it, our words will carry no conviction to our hearers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written about Washington after his death by another of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson: His mind was great and powerful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written about Washington after his death by another of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson: His mind was great and powerful ... as far as he saw, no judgment was ever sounder. It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the incidents of the profession. [Lat., E un incidente del mestiere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43405]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of the incidents of the profession. [Lat., E un incidente del mestiere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're very fortunate because we're starting fall break tonight.

John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whole Foods has become, obviously, a Wall Street darling in the recent past and for good reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whole Foods has become, obviously, a Wall Street darling in the recent past and for good reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it that every time I'm with you, makes me believe in magic? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why is it that every time I'm with you, makes me believe in magic?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death's wing flashed ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29395]]></link><description><![CDATA[All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death's wing flashed ahead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On South Cloverdale Road, there were both poles and lines down, which took crews four hours to replace.
