He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization ceases when we no longer respect and no longer put into their correct places the fundamental values, such as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization ceases when we no longer respect and no longer put into their correct places the fundamental values, such as work, family and country such as the individual, honor and religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They told me I could fill right in at the four spot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32712]]></link><description><![CDATA[They told me I could fill right in at the four spot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good wine needs no bush. -As You Like It.

Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf.

But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them. They feel our generosity as oppression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5165]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything you're good at contributes to happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dubai has been trying to prove to the rest of the Arab world that there is life after oil, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dubai has been trying to prove to the rest of the Arab world that there is life after oil, and that in fact it's a better life.
