Not necessarily that he must feel affection for them -- that is not always possible in this life, though it will be in heaven -- but that he must treat them as love dictates, doing always for others what he would that they should do for him.  ... A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a very tight balance in world supply and demand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41243]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a very tight balance in world supply and demand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd like the chance to do a little more performing before I become too old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28884]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd like the chance to do a little more performing before I become too old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prithee take the cork out of thy mouth, that I may drink thy tidings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prithee take the cork out of thy mouth, that I may drink thy tidings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No flowery road leads to glory. [Fr., Aucun chemin de fleurs ne conduit a la gloire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17549]]></link><description><![CDATA[No flowery road leads to glory. [Fr., Aucun chemin de fleurs ne conduit a la gloire.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25825]]></link><description><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Till then, good-night! You wish the time were now?

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Babies are such a nice way to start people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Babies are such a nice way to start people]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43725]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27405]]></link><description><![CDATA[As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16987]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to give Midland a lot of credit.

But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them.
