Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is stronger than nature. [Lat., Consuetudo natura potentior est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is stronger than nature. [Lat., Consuetudo natura potentior est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honor is the moral conscience of the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honor is the moral conscience of the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54201]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was flying.
