The sense of neighborhood and community at the Bethlehem Steel site is a good thing. We intend to be good neighbors, and we intend to create economic rejuvenation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just my vengeance complete, The man sprang to his feet,  Stood erect, caught at God's skirts, and prayed!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just my vengeance complete, The man sprang to his feet,  Stood erect, caught at God's skirts, and prayed!   So, I was afraid!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We got to keep our heads up and play the ball we've been playing.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mine honor is my life; both grow in one; Take honor from me, and my life is done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mine honor is my life; both grow in one; Take honor from me, and my life is done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bureaucracy, the rule of no one, has become the modern form of despotism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4995]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bureaucracy, the rule of no one, has become the modern form of despotism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26583]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
