The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood. Our stewardship of God's goods requires that we administer in God's name -- that is, with full awareness that the world is His and that His love is directed toward us no more fully than toward every man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cease to admire the smoke, wealth, and noise of prosperous Rome. [Lat., Omitte mirari beatae  Fumum et opes strepitumque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54407]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cease to admire the smoke, wealth, and noise of prosperous Rome. [Lat., Omitte mirari beatae  Fumum et opes strepitumque Romae.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really happy with the set-up (of the car).

Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mislike me not for my complexion, The shadow'd livery of the burnish'd sun. -The Merchant of Venice.

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63132]]></link><description><![CDATA[True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers.
