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[Violence arises not out of superfluity of power but out of powerlessness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violence arises not out of superfluity of power but out of powerlessness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63129]]></link><description><![CDATA[We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful isle of the sea, Smile on the brow of the waters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beautiful isle of the sea, Smile on the brow of the waters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fundamental idea of modern capitalism is not the right of the individual to possess and enjoy what he has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5229]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fundamental idea of modern capitalism is not the right of the individual to possess and enjoy what he has earned, but the ;thesis that the exercise of this right redounds to the general good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For example, if a car rental company charges $100 a day for a mid-sized rental car to a family in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35982]]></link><description><![CDATA[For example, if a car rental company charges $100 a day for a mid-sized rental car to a family in need, this amounts to exorbitant pricing and that company will answer for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw the bags and I said to myself that somebody is dumping trash here.

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item></channel></rss>
