We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and  The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and  The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships;   The varied and ample land,--the South    And the North in the light--Ohio's shores, and flashing Missouri,     And ever the far-spreading prairies, covered with grass and corn.   - Walt Whitman,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People look at you and me to see what they are supposed to be.

As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We sent Burns, trying to force them to make the play.
