We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our Lady of the Snows. [Lat., Notre Dames des Neiges.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our Lady of the Snows. [Lat., Notre Dames des Neiges.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one soon or late comes round by Rome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one soon or late comes round by Rome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ideal museum show would be a mating of Brideshead Revisited with House & Garden. provoking intense and pleasurable nostalgia ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43414]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ideal museum show would be a mating of Brideshead Revisited with House & Garden. provoking intense and pleasurable nostalgia for a past that none of its audience has had.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We certainly welcome anyone into this race, but the frank reality is when it comes to changing Pennsylvania, Lynn Swann ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40653]]></link><description><![CDATA[We certainly welcome anyone into this race, but the frank reality is when it comes to changing Pennsylvania, Lynn Swann is the clear choice today and will be in November.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who sees two or three generations is like someone who sits in a conjurer's booth at a fair ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19362]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who sees two or three generations is like someone who sits in a conjurer's booth at a fair and sees the tricks two or three times.

Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is full of lies. The body tries to tell the truth.

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you watch how nature deals with adversity, continually renewing itself, you can't help but learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/717]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you watch how nature deals with adversity, continually renewing itself, you can't help but learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change  And pleased with novelty, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change  And pleased with novelty, might be indulged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60424</guid></item></channel></rss>
