Frequently, when rival parties and rival nations fought with one another as to which of two opposed dogmas was the truth, they had been arrayed against one another by more deep-seated and vital causes, and merely inscribed at the last the dogmas on their standards or chose them as watchwords or symbols. We are tired of those elaborate discussions of the fine, wire-drawn, subtle distinctions between sects, and those elaborate discussions of the principles involved in heresies, and we desire to see the real differences in life and conduct receive more attention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're getting better and better.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3360]]></link><description><![CDATA[The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deal is a clear sign that it still pays to be overweight Mexico and we expect to see more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31068]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deal is a clear sign that it still pays to be overweight Mexico and we expect to see more upside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58108]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45173]]></link><description><![CDATA[For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do not ask the right questions, you do not get the right answers.
