Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst kind of shame is being ashamed of frugality or poverty. [Lat., Pessimus quidem pudor vel est parsimoniae vel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56131]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst kind of shame is being ashamed of frugality or poverty. [Lat., Pessimus quidem pudor vel est parsimoniae vel frugalitatis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were very wrong in October. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36031]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were very wrong in October.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from the artist is to make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3150]]></link><description><![CDATA[The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from the artist is to make him ruin his work]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half we did a good job.

St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35461]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing.

All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You miss 100% of the shots you never take. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54287]]></link><description><![CDATA[You miss 100% of the shots you never take.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15825]]></link><description><![CDATA[I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is a higher faculty than reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is a higher faculty than reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's scary, but we're holding our own right now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35409]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's scary, but we're holding our own right now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65190]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The woman that deliberates is lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The woman that deliberates is lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2192]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lash may force men to physical labor, it cannot force them to spiritual creativity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lash may force men to physical labor, it cannot force them to spiritual creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not about how much you say 'I love you,' but how much you can prove that it's true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not about how much you say 'I love you,' but how much you can prove that it's true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector.
