It has to be an American crisis, of course. If two countries fight that do not supply the Americans with some precious commodity, then the education of the public does not take place. But when the dictator falls, when the oil is threatened, then you turn on the television and they tell you where the country is, what the language is, how to pronounce the names of the leaders, what the religion is all about, and maybe you can cut out recipes in the newspaper of Persian dishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the situation that makes the man, but the man who makes the situation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8746]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the situation that makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some cases. . . in which the sense of injury breeds --not the will to inflict injuries and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20919]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some cases. . . in which the sense of injury breeds --not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but --a hatred of all injury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56571]]></link><description><![CDATA[In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her mighty lakes and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism and skepticism and humbug and we shall want to live ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10955]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism and skepticism and humbug and we shall want to live more musically]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers,  From their pulpits of stone, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers,  From their pulpits of stone, in the upper air,   Sounding aloft, without crack or flaw,    Shriller than trumpets under the Law,     Now a sermon and now a prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jimmy says he'll never tell a lie.

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51062]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46303]]></link><description><![CDATA[No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46303</guid></item></channel></rss>
