Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46359]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This formal fool, your man, speaks naught but proverbs, And speak men what they can to him he'll answer  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51898]]></link><description><![CDATA[This formal fool, your man, speaks naught but proverbs, And speak men what they can to him he'll answer  With some rhyme, rotten sentence, or old saying,   Such spokes as ye ancient of ye parish use.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All history is but the lengthened shadow of a great man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19451]]></link><description><![CDATA[All history is but the lengthened shadow of a great man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside -- this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5649]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5364]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by ;degrees, the consequences will be the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26014]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30414]]></link><description><![CDATA[RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full throttle and coming out with new devices and technologies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No such thing as a man willing to be honest -- that would be like a blind man willing to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19677]]></link><description><![CDATA[No such thing as a man willing to be honest -- that would be like a blind man willing to see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of Nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of Nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there is often times a lot of speculation about what is the real belief college students have about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40255]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there is often times a lot of speculation about what is the real belief college students have about the war in Iraq, and we're trying to give people that sort of information.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hard part about being a head coach, especially when you have a program that's new, is getting the kids ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hard part about being a head coach, especially when you have a program that's new, is getting the kids to buy into the fact that you have a team.
