When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The creative person wants to be a know -it -all.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Marines was a fresh start - that is why they shave your head.
