Where power is one, the defeated individual, however strong and resourceful, can have no refuge and no recourse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee goes not out of his way, that goes to a good Inne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee goes not out of his way, that goes to a good Inne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is happening across the pages of almost every newspaper is a ruthless attempt to destroy the young challenger among ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36897]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is happening across the pages of almost every newspaper is a ruthless attempt to destroy the young challenger among the Tory modernizers' camp and to keep the Conservatives firmly on the right of British politics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only do what your heart tells you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only do what your heart tells you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. -George Bernard Shaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory or Westminister Abbey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Victory or Westminister Abbey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can miles truly separate you from friends...

They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.
