A fellowship of prodigal sons came into being -- the church of Christ. Love begets love. A new power ... was let loose upon our suffering world, the power to love those who have not deserved love, the unworthy, the unlovely and unlovable, a man's enemies, and even his torturers. Christians, in imitation of the Saviour, became, as it were, Christs to one another and to the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4972]]></link><description><![CDATA[One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been a great ride, and it's time to move on to other things, but not without mixed feelings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33460]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been a great ride, and it's time to move on to other things, but not without mixed feelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just once I would like to persuade the audience not to wear any article of blue denim.

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fiction intended to please, should resemble truth as much as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fiction intended to please, should resemble truth as much as possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His Unique Selling Position was to make the world work for 100% ofhumanity.. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22063]]></link><description><![CDATA[His Unique Selling Position was to make the world work for 100% ofhumanity..]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven  Upon the place beneath. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27350]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven  Upon the place beneath.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great causes and little men go ill together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great causes and little men go ill together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're still in the early stages (of recovery).
