The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions--bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48120]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions--bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality.

No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12858]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much virtue in Herbs, little in men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much virtue in Herbs, little in men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they could forget for a moment the correggiosity of Correggio and the learned babble of the sale-room and varnishing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45414]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they could forget for a moment the correggiosity of Correggio and the learned babble of the sale-room and varnishing Auctioneer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're only young once, but you can be immature forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1784]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prehistoric times, mankind often had only two choices in crisis situations: fight or flee.
