Such 'knowledge' is so thoroughly a part of our worldview that it simply would not occur to most people to question it. Yet underneath this reality is another, subinstitutional reality in which very different responses are simply acted out. This is the reality in which everyone, until very recently, lived. -David Schwartz.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53164]]></link><description><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire is never a gentle master ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15995]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire is never a gentle master]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the coin of your life.

It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know for sure we'll have it - snow, rain and probably everything else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31219]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know for sure we'll have it - snow, rain and probably everything else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are completely in bed with the Israelis to the detriment ofthe Palestinianson the Diane Rehm Show. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45969]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are completely in bed with the Israelis to the detriment ofthe Palestinianson the Diane Rehm Show.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58806]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success, or failure, very often arrives on wings that seem mysterious to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success, or failure, very often arrives on wings that seem mysterious to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't anticipate any workforce impact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37584]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't anticipate any workforce impact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So many men, so little time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27003]]></link><description><![CDATA[So many men, so little time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Church on earth is a cross-eyed church, with one eye on God in His heavenly benediction, and one eye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7194]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Church on earth is a cross-eyed church, with one eye on God in His heavenly benediction, and one eye on the needy world of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best things in life come in threes, like friends, dreams, and memories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16744]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best things in life come in threes, like friends, dreams, and memories.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is sometimes equated with credulity, but it can be so equated only when the profound mistake is made of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is sometimes equated with credulity, but it can be so equated only when the profound mistake is made of thinking of faith as primarily a matter of intellectual assent. As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is my refuge.
