We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we'd save a lot of money by hiring our own engineer.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good writing is clear thinking made visible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good writing is clear thinking made visible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He confesses his guilt who flies from his trial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50550]]></link><description><![CDATA[He confesses his guilt who flies from his trial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690   I find more marks of authenticity in the Bible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690   I find more marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11805]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11601]]></link><description><![CDATA[A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My London constituency in Hackney has one of the highest levels of gun crime in the country.
