That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism.

The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16055]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dog has got more fun out of man than man has got out of the dog, for man is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dog has got more fun out of man than man has got out of the dog, for man is the more laughable of the two animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64796]]></link><description><![CDATA[When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like I am back at 100 percent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40354]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like I am back at 100 percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave not a rack behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave not a rack behind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100  It is God Himself, personally present and redeemingly active, who comes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100  It is God Himself, personally present and redeemingly active, who comes to meet men in this Man of Nazareth. Jesus is more than a religious genius, such as George Fox, and more than a holy man, such as the lovable Lana in Kipling's Kim. He himself knows that he is more. The Gospel story is a tree rooted in the familiar soil of time and sense; but its roots go down into the Abyss and its branches fill the Heavens; given to us in terms of a country in the Eastern Mediterranean no bigger than Wales, during the Roman Principate of Tiberius Caesar in the first century of our era, its range is universal; it is on the scale of eternity. God's presence and his very Self were made manifest in the words and works of this Man. In short, the Man Christ Jesus has the decisive place in man's ageless relationship with God. He is what God means by 'Man'. He is what man means by 'God'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23795]]></link><description><![CDATA[The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. . -Charles Kuralt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage.

This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has never failed somewhere, that man cannot be great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57074]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has never failed somewhere, that man cannot be great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran is ready to provide any guarantees that our nuclear activities are not geared toward nuclear weapon production. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iran is ready to provide any guarantees that our nuclear activities are not geared toward nuclear weapon production.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still amorous, and fond, and billing, Like Philip and Mary, on a shilling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Still amorous, and fond, and billing, Like Philip and Mary, on a shilling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52995]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a fast start, then Milford had a 12-0 run, then we held them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32030]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had a fast start, then Milford had a 12-0 run, then we held them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People had been afraid to speak out.
