I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before you make a friend, eate a bushell of salt with him. [Before you make a friend, eat a bushel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before you make a friend, eate a bushell of salt with him. [Before you make a friend, eat a bushel of salt with him.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

Further, each local church is a church only in so far as it is the expression, in a particular place, of this new race that has come into the world through Christ Jesus. It is the mighty acts of God in Him that are the guarantee of our fellowship in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series about the early church:   As to the Emperor and the charge of high treason ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series about the early church:   As to the Emperor and the charge of high treason against us, Caesar's safety lies not in hands soldered on. We invoke the true God for the Emperor. Even if he persecute us, we are bidden to pray for them that persecute us, as you can read in our books, which are not hidden, which you often get hold of. We pray for him because the Empire lies between us and the end of the world. We count the Caesars to be God's vice-regents and swear by their safety (not by their genius, as required). As for loyalty, Caesar really is more ours than yours; for it was our God who set him up. It is for his own good, that we refuse to call the Emperor God; Father of his Country is a better title. No Christian has ever made a plot against a Caesar; the famous conspirators and assassins were heathen, one and all. Piety, religion, faith are our best offering of loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was not Lisa Holland.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just wrestle under the name of 'wrestling' or pick some other creative name.
