It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They want to have their pasta, but they're willing to eat a sensible portion with lots of vegetables. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39746]]></link><description><![CDATA[They want to have their pasta, but they're willing to eat a sensible portion with lots of vegetables.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My darkness has been filled with the light of intelligence, and behold, the outer day-lit world was stumbling and groping ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4329]]></link><description><![CDATA[My darkness has been filled with the light of intelligence, and behold, the outer day-lit world was stumbling and groping in social blindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the district is as wide open as it's ever been.

Now hath my life across a stormy sea  Like a frail bark reached that wide port where all  Are bidden, ere the final reckoning fall Of good and evil for eternity. Now know I well how that fond phantasy  Which made my soul the worshipper and thrall  Of earthly art, is vain; how criminal Is that which all men seek unwillingly. Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed,  What are they when the double death is nigh?  The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest  My soul that turns to His great love on high,  Whose arms to clasp us on the cross were spread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainly this is a duty, not a sin.
