This is expressed in the claim, "All men are created equal," which is something very different from the statement, "All men have equal rights and are equal before the law." Anyone who believes in the genetic uniqueness of every individual thereby believes in the conclusion, "No two individuals are created equal.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47533]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66654]]></link><description><![CDATA[The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50273]]></link><description><![CDATA[In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, love more, and all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, love more, and all good things will be yours. -Swedish Proverb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The band as an entity has evolved and matured with their stage performance and song writing.

His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property.
