They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet verily these issues lie on the lap of the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet verily these issues lie on the lap of the gods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2191]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one greater folly than that of the fool who says in his heart there is no God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53763]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one greater folly than that of the fool who says in his heart there is no God, and that is the folly of the people that says with its head that it does not know whether there is a God or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some misapprehension, I say, some obliquity, or some slavish adherence to old prejudices, may thus cause us to refuse the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some misapprehension, I say, some obliquity, or some slavish adherence to old prejudices, may thus cause us to refuse the true interpretation, but we are none the less bound to refuse and wait for more light. To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was all ear, And took in strains that might create a soul  Under the ribs of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18987]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was all ear, And took in strains that might create a soul  Under the ribs of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't see it as a law of the Church but as a law of God, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34989]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't see it as a law of the Church but as a law of God,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, I think Hilton has clearly put a wrench in the process by offering $70 per share. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now, I think Hilton has clearly put a wrench in the process by offering $70 per share.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests, and see whether we also, in our day and generation, may not perform something worthy to be remembered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12609]]></link><description><![CDATA[My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guess if you can, choose if you dare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guess if you can, choose if you dare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Low humidity and high winds allow for a fire to get out of control. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Low humidity and high winds allow for a fire to get out of control.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He makes a great row but does nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51150]]></link><description><![CDATA[He makes a great row but does nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With nearly 20 days until Iraq emerges as a free sovereign state for the first time in more than three ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36814]]></link><description><![CDATA[With nearly 20 days until Iraq emerges as a free sovereign state for the first time in more than three decades, terrorists have increasingly targeted our country's infrastructure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires.

You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If such a young nation as the U.S. could make it to superpower status, we could do it as well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29763]]></link><description><![CDATA[If such a young nation as the U.S. could make it to superpower status, we could do it as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems small, ... but Latinos and Hispanics are concentrated in some very important states: California, New York, Florida and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42439]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems small, ... but Latinos and Hispanics are concentrated in some very important states: California, New York, Florida and Texas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men do not stumble over mountains, but over molehills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men do not stumble over mountains, but over molehills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62407]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lightning strikes the tops of the mountains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lightning strikes the tops of the mountains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
