Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, as far as I'm concerned (the petition) is coming out of a racist response. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically, as far as I'm concerned (the petition) is coming out of a racist response.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16696]]></link><description><![CDATA[A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason there is so little crime in Germany is that it's against the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24268]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason there is so little crime in Germany is that it's against the law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One sweet, sad secret holds my heart in thrall; A mighty love within my breast has grown,  Unseen, unspoken, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25616]]></link><description><![CDATA[One sweet, sad secret holds my heart in thrall; A mighty love within my breast has grown,  Unseen, unspoken, and of no one known;   And of my sweet, who gave it, least of all.    [Fr., Ma vie a son secret, mon ame a son mystere:     Un amour eternel en un moment concu.      La mal est sans remede, aussi j'ai du le taire,       Et elle qui l'a fait n'en a jamais rien su.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Done to death by slanderous tongues. -Much Ado about Nothing.

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just needed to get the ball to go in the basket maybe in the first and second quarter a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33968]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just needed to get the ball to go in the basket maybe in the first and second quarter a little more.

It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, Do you remember that night we...? But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives.
