Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television is democracy at its ugliest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is democracy at its ugliest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every month when my check came we would do one nice thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every month when my check came we would do one nice thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone informed that the universe is expanding and contracting in pulsations of eighty billion years has a right to ask, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone informed that the universe is expanding and contracting in pulsations of eighty billion years has a right to ask, "What's in it for me?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Man and His Two SweetheartsA middle aged man, whose hair had begun to turn gray, courted two women at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Man and His Two SweetheartsA middle aged man, whose hair had begun to turn gray, courted two women at the same time. One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13398]]></link><description><![CDATA[What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim munus reiplicae afferre majus, meliusve possumus, quam si docemus atque erudimus juventutem?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're only lonely if you don't like the person you are alone with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21605]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're only lonely if you don't like the person you are alone with.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/742]]></link><description><![CDATA[As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58509]]></link><description><![CDATA[His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treachery, though at first very cautious, in the end betrays itself. [Lat., Ipsa se fraus, etiamsi initio cautior fuerit, detegit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treachery, though at first very cautious, in the end betrays itself. [Lat., Ipsa se fraus, etiamsi initio cautior fuerit, detegit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative, Imagination, Individuality and ;Independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5661]]></link><description><![CDATA[The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative, Imagination, Individuality and ;Independence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waiting is a trap.
