It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58131]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, on the dawn of victory, stopped to rest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19277]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, on the dawn of victory, stopped to rest and resting died.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1446]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a courtesy visit.

He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said that absence conquers love; But oh! believe it not  I've tried, alas! its power to prove,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/162]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said that absence conquers love; But oh! believe it not  I've tried, alas! its power to prove,   But thou art not forgot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is safety in reserve, but no attraction.
