If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Houses that are priced right are still selling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Houses that are priced right are still selling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the long run, the pessimist may be proven right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46434]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the long run, the pessimist may be proven right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic.

How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All roads lead to Rome, but our antagonists think we should choose different paths. [Fr., Tous chemins vont a Rome; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54409]]></link><description><![CDATA[All roads lead to Rome, but our antagonists think we should choose different paths. [Fr., Tous chemins vont a Rome; ainsi nos concurrents  Crurent pouvoir choisir des sentiers differents.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the lone shielding on the misty island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas--  But still the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25951]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the lone shielding on the misty island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas--  But still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,   And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person?
