Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   In the first ages, [catechizing] was a work of long time; months, sometimes years, were devoted to the arduous task of disabusing the mind of the incipient Christian of its pagan errors, and of moulding it upon the Christian faith. The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet Mercy! to the gates of Heaven This minstrel lead, his sins forgiven;  The rueful conflict, the heart riven ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet Mercy! to the gates of Heaven This minstrel lead, his sins forgiven;  The rueful conflict, the heart riven   With vain endeavour,    And memory of earth's bitter leaven     Effaced forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My breasts are beautiful, and I gotta tell you, they've gotten a lot of attention for what is relatively short ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2856]]></link><description><![CDATA[My breasts are beautiful, and I gotta tell you, they've gotten a lot of attention for what is relatively short screen time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the great mass of our people there are plenty individuals of intelligence from among whom leadership can be recruited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22549]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the great mass of our people there are plenty individuals of intelligence from among whom leadership can be recruited.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take no repulse, whatever she doth say; For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.'  Flatter and praise, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take no repulse, whatever she doth say; For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.'  Flatter and praise, commend, extol their graces;   Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces.    That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man,     If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any time women come together with a collective intention, it's a powerful thing.
