If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24386]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45334]]></link><description><![CDATA[The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow,  Is carried away in a gust of wind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used it quite a bit today.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item></channel></rss>
