The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60903]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is to do in this universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every honest miller has a golden thumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every honest miller has a golden thumb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman should be an illusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20479]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman should be an illusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither ridiculous shriekings for revenge by French chauvinists, nor the Englishmen's gnashing of teeth, nor the wild gestures of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither ridiculous shriekings for revenge by French chauvinists, nor the Englishmen's gnashing of teeth, nor the wild gestures of the Slavs will turn us from our aim of protecting and extending German influence all the world over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity is the first path to truth. - Don Juan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity is the first path to truth. - Don Juan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no secrets to success.

But when it is taken for a veritable possessing of God, or unity with God, then it is sin, for it is in reality nothing else than a state of thorough passivity and apathy untouched by the power from on high -- a purely negative state from which (if one in arrogance calls it divine) nothing follows but blindness, failure of understanding, and a disinclination to be governed by the rules of ordinary righteousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22173]]></link><description><![CDATA[How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's censure is first moulded in his own nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's censure is first moulded in his own nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played even with one of the best teams in the state for 16 minutes.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being taken for granted can be a compliment.
