It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[England! my country, great and free! Heart of the world, I leap to thee! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13900]]></link><description><![CDATA[England! my country, great and free! Heart of the world, I leap to thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The avowed aim of all utopian movements is to put an end to history and to establish a final and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56799]]></link><description><![CDATA[The avowed aim of all utopian movements is to put an end to history and to establish a final and permanent calm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore I say again I utterly abhor, yea, from my soul  Refuse you for my judge, whom yet once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore I say again I utterly abhor, yea, from my soul  Refuse you for my judge, whom yet once more   I hold my most malicious for and think not    At all a friend to truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight;  Farewell awhile to him and thee,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight;  Farewell awhile to him and thee,   My native land--Good Night!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52535]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11974]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By and large what we see is that hospitals need good, flexible space that can accommodate any number of services. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34187]]></link><description><![CDATA[By and large what we see is that hospitals need good, flexible space that can accommodate any number of services.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you strike the goads with your fists, your hands suffer most. [Lat., Si stimulos pugnis caedis manibus plus dolet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58205]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you strike the goads with your fists, your hands suffer most. [Lat., Si stimulos pugnis caedis manibus plus dolet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started out slow with our defensive pressure, but we were creating a lot of turnovers, and we shut them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41981]]></link><description><![CDATA[We started out slow with our defensive pressure, but we were creating a lot of turnovers, and we shut them down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is sweeter than life itself.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gratitude of most men is but a secret desire of receiving greater benefits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18156]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gratitude of most men is but a secret desire of receiving greater benefits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can bring you to the door, but you have to walk through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11629]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can bring you to the door, but you have to walk through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51608]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I do hate him as I hate the devil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18856]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I do hate him as I hate the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like I am back at 100 percent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40354]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like I am back at 100 percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13772]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thomas a Kempis speaks for all the ages when he represents Jesus as saying to him, "A wise lover regards ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thomas a Kempis speaks for all the ages when he represents Jesus as saying to him, "A wise lover regards not so much the gift of him who loves, as the love of him who gives.
