I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today we are reaching from younger people to? baby boomers and up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today we are reaching from younger people to? baby boomers and up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a country well governed poverty is something to be ashamed of.

There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The style of life is a unity because it has grown out of the difficulties of early life and out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28873]]></link><description><![CDATA[The style of life is a unity because it has grown out of the difficulties of early life and out of the striving for a goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is pride?
