He called for the love of our enemies, not their destruction; ... for readiness to suffer instead of using force; for forgiveness instead of hate and revenge. One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The company has grown to appreciate ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â including our board ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â just how important the external and internal reputation of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37441]]></link><description><![CDATA[The company has grown to appreciate ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â including our board ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â just how important the external and internal reputation of Wal-Mart is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why he went off the road we don't know, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why he went off the road we don't know,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be pain in dress, and sober in your diet; In short, my deary, kiss me! and be quiet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be pain in dress, and sober in your diet; In short, my deary, kiss me! and be quiet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21037]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything flows; nothing remains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything flows; nothing remains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We deem this action representative of a market that has lost the flurry of last week's panic buying and instead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32937]]></link><description><![CDATA[We deem this action representative of a market that has lost the flurry of last week's panic buying and instead is rethinking its view as to the near-term motivation of the Fed and the impact of Katrina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890  May I be patient!

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remove severe restraint and what will become of virtue? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remove severe restraint and what will become of virtue?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3478]]></link><description><![CDATA[To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether shall the Oxe goe, where he shall not labour? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether shall the Oxe goe, where he shall not labour?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's not quibble!

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19775]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit.
