Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, 680 Commemoration of Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, Philanthropist, 1231 Commemoration of Mechtild, Bèguine of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, 680 Commemoration of Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, Philanthropist, 1231 Commemoration of Mechtild, Bèguine of Magdeburg, Mystic, Prophet, 1280    [At the Garden of Olives Monastery]  "Why are you all so quiet all the time?" I say, still whispering at him in this hoarse voice.  "We are teachers and workers," he says, "not talkers."  "Workers, O.K.," I say, "but how can a teacher be quiet all the time and teach anybody anything?"  "Christ was the best," he says, thinking of something. "He lived thirty-three years. Thirty years he kept quiet; three years he talked. Ten to one for keeping quiet.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[T]he music's pure algebra of enchantment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43424]]></link><description><![CDATA[[T]he music's pure algebra of enchantment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American philanthropic custom owes much to leadership by business and professional people. -Robert L.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's good about the Lehigh Valley is that we are not dependent on a single industry.
