There we are required, not to cast the world from us, but to do our best for all others as well as ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Male superiority in former days was easily demonstrated, because if a woman questioned her husband's he could beat her.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much safer to obey, than to govern. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44731]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is much safer to obey, than to govern.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44731</guid></item></channel></rss>
