They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A compliment is like a kiss through a veil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2219]]></link><description><![CDATA[A compliment is like a kiss through a veil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304   That is where they meet, the Upper Room, scene of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304   That is where they meet, the Upper Room, scene of the Last Supper, scene of the Resurrection appearances when the doors were shut, scene now of their waiting for the Spirit. Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, nothing comes to us too soon but sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, nothing comes to us too soon but sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14706]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is very impressive.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item></channel></rss>
