But is it not true that in our hearts we are afraid that the full-orbed, unfiltered revelation of God will disturb some custom, some privilege, some status by which we benefit in society, occupation, or government? And knowing that we are profiting by the blood, sweat, and tears of the many, we feel wrath rising in us whenever it is proposed that religion touches the thing in question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, but the man who makes his own opportunities is, barring an accident, a sure-fire success]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Equality of the general rules of law and conduct, however, is the only kind of equality conducive to liberty and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Equality of the general rules of law and conduct, however, is the only kind of equality conducive to liberty and the only equality which we can secure without destroying liberty. Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art thou a friend to Roderick? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art thou a friend to Roderick?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took a big step between Monroe and Lake.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, and the point of exhaustion, when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56727]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, and the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64467]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By my penny of observation. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be.
