Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minorities are the stars of the firmament; majorities, the darkness in which they float. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Minorities are the stars of the firmament; majorities, the darkness in which they float.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Microsoft has stepped up to the plate in a way we've never seen before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Microsoft has stepped up to the plate in a way we've never seen before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man has enthusiasm !0 minutes, another !0 days, but it is the man who has it !0 years who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21737]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man has enthusiasm !0 minutes, another !0 days, but it is the man who has it !0 years who makes a success of his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24652]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a solution for war.
