The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is enough in the world for everyone to have plenty, to livehappily, and to be at peace with his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21944]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is enough in the world for everyone to have plenty, to livehappily, and to be at peace with his neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing we tell our client countries is to have clear institutional arrangements in place for having rapid response and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41510]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing we tell our client countries is to have clear institutional arrangements in place for having rapid response and effective coordination,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men worry over the great number of diseases, while doctors worry over the scarcity of effective remedies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men worry over the great number of diseases, while doctors worry over the scarcity of effective remedies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66729]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65956]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52699]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half of the American people have never read a newspaper.

The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood.

May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, play the man!
