Not necessarily that he must feel affection for them -- that is not always possible in this life, though it will be in heaven -- but that he must treat them as love dictates, doing always for others what he would that they should do for him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and invite God and His Angels thither; and when they are there, I neglect God and His Angels for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3552]]></link><description><![CDATA[All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a human capital crisis in the federal government.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is found in unlikely places. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is found in unlikely places.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss But cheerly seek how to redress their harms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The war between the sexes is the only one in which both sides regularly sleep with the enemy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The war between the sexes is the only one in which both sides regularly sleep with the enemy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14907]]></link><description><![CDATA[My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A picture is a poem without words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45415]]></link><description><![CDATA[A picture is a poem without words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're doing everything we can to keep him ready for whatever the future brings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40770]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're doing everything we can to keep him ready for whatever the future brings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our objective now is to sustain, over the cycle, this level of pretax return on equity and double-digit earnings per ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our objective now is to sustain, over the cycle, this level of pretax return on equity and double-digit earnings per share growth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many people it is already an impertinence to say 'I'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65288]]></link><description><![CDATA[In many people it is already an impertinence to say 'I'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24985]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a woman I have no country.
