It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn." --George Washington]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time to enjoy a European tour is about three weeks after you unpack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59605]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time to enjoy a European tour is about three weeks after you unpack.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I did not expect to hear that it could be, in an assembly convened for the propagation of Christian knowledge, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956]]></link><description><![CDATA[I did not expect to hear that it could be, in an assembly convened for the propagation of Christian knowledge, a question whether any nation uninstructed in religion should receive instruction; or whether that, instruction should be imparted to them by a translation of the holy-books into their own language. If obedience to the will of GOD be necessary to happiness, and knowledge of his will be necessary to obedience, I know not how he that withholds this knowledge, or delays it, can be said to love his neighbour as himself. He, that voluntarily continues ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces; as to him that should extinguish the tapers of a light-house, might justly be imputed the calamities of shipwrecks. (Continued tomorrow)   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 13, 2002   Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity; and as no man is good but as he wishes the good of others, so no man can be good in the highest degree, who wishes not to others the largest measures of the greatest good. To omit for a year, or for a day, the most efficacious method of advancing Christianity [i.e., the Bible], in compliance with any purposes that terminate this side of the grave, is a crime [the like] of which I know not that the world has yet had an example.   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 14, 2002 Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The "good" man, the man whose god is righteousness, has as his life's ambition the keeping of rules and commandments and the keeping of himself uncontaminated by the world. This sounds admirable; but, as the truth of Christ showed, the whole of such living, the whole drive and ambition, the whole edifice, is self-centered. That entire process of effort must be abandoned if a man is to give himself in love to God and his fellows. He must lose his life if he is ever going to find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Cristes loore, and his Apostles twelve He taughte, but first he folowed it hymselfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48073]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Cristes loore, and his Apostles twelve He taughte, but first he folowed it hymselfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Game two was) a little sloppier on both sides.
