Being in the minority, he has no other choice. Failing this duty, he sinks into oblivion. Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not envy a sinner; you don't know what disaster awaits him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not envy a sinner; you don't know what disaster awaits him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love received is the love that is saved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2065]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love received is the love that is saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man can eat fifty eggs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18312]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man can eat fifty eggs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2428]]></link><description><![CDATA[They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100   What exactly has Christ done for you?

What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not getting, but giving, not a wild dream of pleasure, and madness of desire— ... it is goodness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not getting, but giving, not a wild dream of pleasure, and madness of desire— ... it is goodness, and honor, and peace and pure living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A winning smile makes winners of us all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56664]]></link><description><![CDATA[A winning smile makes winners of us all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find out what's really out there.
