His love and faith is alive in millions of Americans who volunteer each day in soup kitchens or in schools, or who refused to ignore the suffering of millions they'd never met in far-away places when a tsunami brought unthinkable destruction. His vision and his passion is alive in churches and on campuses when millions stand up against the injustice of discrimination anywhere, or the indifference that leaves too many behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we've proposed is the result of many months of work and feedback from hundreds of people in San Diego ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37897]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we've proposed is the result of many months of work and feedback from hundreds of people in San Diego County.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think'st thou there is no tyranny but that Of blood and chains?

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real rebels are rarely anything but second rate outside their rebellion; the drain of time and temper is ruinous to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real rebels are rarely anything but second rate outside their rebellion; the drain of time and temper is ruinous to any other accomplishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it grows dark, we always need someone.

Our model is the Jesus, not only of Calvary, but of the workshop, the roads, the crowds, the clamorous demands and surly oppositions, the lack of all peace and privacy, the interruptions. For this, so strangely unlike anything we can attribute to the divine life in itself, is apparently not only like, but is, the divine life operating under human conditions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52112]]></link><description><![CDATA[All cruelty springs from weakness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and useless.
